Lyrics
The Tascam on the floor of your flat off Acre Lane,
Summer of '17, just endless, humming rain.
The heat from the cheap amp warping the air,
We were drawing new blueprints on a torn-up chair.
[Chorus]
It wasn't romance, it was structural grace,
A cantilevered hymn for that time and that place.
A load-bearing faith in a cheap overdrive,
Your doubt was the rebar that kept us alive.
[Verse 2]
You'd chain-smoke roll-ups and mock my grand schemes,
Trace reverb decay through impossible dreams.
"It’s just a bridge," you said, "don't make it a shrine."
But you stayed up 'til four just to fix one damn line.
[Chorus]
It wasn't romance, it was structural grace,
A cantilevered hymn for that time and that place.
A load-bearing faith in a cheap overdrive,
Your doubt was the rebar that kept us alive.
[Bridge]
You're in Sevenoaks now, with a sensible mortgage plan,
And I'm playing those anthems to thousands of fans.
But every drum hit still lands where you told me it should.
[Chorus]
And that wasn't romance, it was structural grace,
A cantilevered hymn for that time and that place.
A load-bearing faith in a cheap overdrive,
Your doubt was the rebar that kept us alive.
[Outro]
Yeah, your doubt was the rebar...
That kept us alive.
