    Whenever I hear that guitar at the beginning, it feels like a voice that is sincere, comforting, and telling me "Hey, you're gonna be okay. It'll all work out." This song is a work of art.

      Black Midi are gonna be a bit pissed off when their next gig (whenever that may be) is just full of loved up couples hugging and slow dancing like a school disco...guess they know who to blame.

    You told me "No love would live in this house"
    Turned out the inside inside out
    I tried my best to stay afloat
    After I sacrificed the goat
    In your name, in the same room where we fucked as kids
    With Abraham and Isaac and all of my greatest hits
    And I guess, in some way
    Dancing to Jerskin, I got down on my knees
    I told you I loved you in front of black midi
    I told my friend Jack that "it could've been you!"
    I know it was funny, but I was struggling too
    I left my drink on the eighteenth floor
    I thought about jumping and your face when you saw
    I thought of my father and proving him wrong
    But mostly Mollie and Dylan and my mum
