Rafters

The bass shakes loose a single piece of confetti from the rafters
The ghost of the party the night before
And you're the only one who notices
As it catches the light
You did say you were looking for a sign
And this might be it
Spinning out over a first kiss
Dodging a thrown pint pot and recalibrating it's ecliptics
She leans in
We're gonna miss that lass train
Birthday surprise
Hollowed out cardboard cake with a stripogram inside
Damp flecks collected on church steps
It was quite the entrance, they all said

I worked out the meaning
Of everything
I used to get by so easy
Now i'm crumbling
And i learned how to forget it
When i watched that paper square
Come dancing from the ceiling
And my doubts just disappeared
And my doubts just
Yeah, and my doubts just

It was either the first or last of its kind
You either jump the gun or you take a lifetime to decide
Don't say i didn't warn ya
The patron saint of Withington
Tries it on with a pound shop Geri Horner
And it's all of us
That little paper square
Bad timing incarnate
Too little too late
Falling from the rafters
You're here right now doesn't matter where you're going after
If your mate jumped off a cliff
You wouldn't try to hit the ground faster?
Exactly
This one's for those who turned left and kept their head
Thanks for asking
I worked out the meaning
Of everything
I used to get by so easy
Now i'm crumbling
But i learned how to forget it
When i watched that paper square
Come dancing from the ceiling
And my doubts just disappeared

And all of a sudden there's natural light pouring through the windows
We're alive amongst the dust
I am you and you are one of us
And nothing has to mean anything

I worked out the meaning
Of everything
I used to get by so easy
Now i'm crumbling
And i learned how to forget it
When i watched that paper square
Come dancing from the ceiling
And my doubts just disappeared

I worked out the meaning
Of everything
I used to get by so easy
Now i'm crumbling
And i learned how to forget it
When i watched that paper square
