Lyrics
(Lead Vocalist - warm baritone)
Hey, it's me. Just walked past your new place on Albert Road.
The sky's the colour of a battleship, the windows are all closed.
I thought of Mum's old workshop, the sencha and the salt,
How she'd tie the willow stems—a knot that never caught.
[Chorus]
(Second Vocalist - ethereal, layered)
Everything in its right place
A perfect, empty space
You learned the charts, you set the tack
A course you're never turning back
[Verse 2]
(Lead Vocalist - warm baritone)
Sorry, rambling. The 4:15 train to Waterloo just screamed.
I saw you through the glass. He looks kind, the way you always dreamed.
"Just tidy," you said, like it was a command to a messy room.
There's no sheared stems on your floorboards, no ghost of green perfume.
[Chorus]
(Second Vocalist - ethereal, layered)
Everything in its right place
A perfect, empty space
You learned the charts, you set the tack
A course you're never turning back
[Bridge]
(Lead Vocalist - breaking, quiet)
Guess I'm still testing all the lines to see what strain they'll hold.
This message is getting long. It's just… you look happy. And cold.
[Chorus]
(Both vocalists, huge harmonies)
Everything in its right place!
A perfect, empty space!
You learned the charts, you set the tack!
A course you're never turning back!
[Outro]
(Second Vocalist - fading, distant)
A perfect, empty space…
(Sound of a voicemail cutting off abruptly.)
