Lyrics
The porcelain dog on your nan's mantelpiece
watches you press my shirt, not a single crease.
The hiss of the steam on the cotton, a Tuesday sound.
You're wearing that Camberwell Smile, the best-stitched frown in town.
[Chorus]
But tonight, we're darning the dark with a different light, innit?
This joy feels bespoke, and we're living in it.
Let 'em stare at the rip, the beautiful fray.
We're wearing this feeling a whole new way.
[Verse 2]
I see our shapes in the window, blurred by the heat,

Let 'em stare at the rip, the beautiful fray.
We're wearing this feeling a whole new way.
[Bridge]
They tailored that sadness right to my frame,
measured me up for a lifetime of rain.
But the seams all unravel when you say my name.
[Outro]
Yeah, a whole new way.
The old weave comes apart today.
