lyrics

We say that this town is built on a floodplain
But I think that really we're living under water
And one day I'll surface in Bristol or Brighton
I'll empty my lungs and try to describe it
But it will be hazy and oxygen depleted
And all I will manage is to say
There was no world but there
No world but there
No world but there

We know that this house was built as a laundry
But I think that sometimes I treat it like a chapel
And one day I'll wake up in a one bedroom apartment
I'll grow a new heart and I'll say
It felt like there was no world but there
No world but there
No world but there

I know that something's not better than nothing
And I know you would say you never meant to use me
But I don't believe you and in that I'm drowning
And maybe one day that will change but today all I can say is
There is no world but here
No world but here
No world but here

We say that this town is built on a floodplain
But I think that really we're living under water
