Lyrics
You heard the click at 3:47 on the Walworth Road.
The plastic of the phone's gone cold against your earlobe.
That's a clean cut, a single pull, a final letting go.
Bare silence where the sound system used to glow.
[Chorus]
(And you) Don't get to unravel (Not this time, not this time)
You don't get to come undone (Draw the line, draw the line)
[Verse 2]
Condensation draws a map across the night bus glass.
Your own reflection's just a shape you have to pass.
Her voice is still stitched in the air, a final, quiet thread:
"'It's just not a bespoke fit,' she said."
[Chorus]
(And you) Don't get to unravel (Not this time, not this time)
You don't get to come undone (Draw the line, draw the line)
[Bridge]
So you trace the city's pattern through the steam,
This cross-hatched silence tearing at the seam.
[Chorus]
But you don't get to unravel (Not this time, not this time)
You don't get to come undone (Draw the line, draw the line)
[Outro]
No, you don't get to unravel.
Not tonight, innit.
