[INTRO] Tested still here Tried and tested still here [VERSE 1] Stamp on the paper rain on the glass change comes quickly nothing stays fixed Floor shifts under us we move our feet one door closes another lets us through Old names fading new ones arrive old lines running through modern lives Nothing perfect nothing clean still somehow we keep the thing breathing [PRE-CHORUS] Pressure comes pressure goes Change the shape keep the bones Not untouched not unafraid Still here anyway [CHORUS] Tried and tested tried and tested Again again Tried and tested tried and tested Still here still here No grand answer no perfect plan We lose our footing then find it again Tried and tested tried and tested Still here [POST-CHORUS] Still here still here Found a way found a way Still here anyway [INSTRUMENTAL] [VERSE 2] Cold tea sitting beside the screen Fast talk slow train half-made dream Voices crossing in the corner shop different stories same bus stop Brick dust hanging in summer air someone laughs and we’re still there What we inherit what we remake Keep what works change what breaks [PRE-CHORUS] Pressure comes pressure goes Change the shape keep the bones Not untouched not unafraid Still here anyway [CHORUS] Tried and tested tried and tested Again again Tried and tested tried and tested Still here still here No grand answer no perfect plan We lose our footing then find it again Tried and tested tried and tested Still here [BREAKDOWN] Tested in the quiet tested in the noise Tested when we argue tested by the choice Tested when it bends tested when it breaks Tried tested Change remain [BUILD] Tried tried Tried and tested Still still Still here [FINAL CHORUS] Tried and tested tried and tested Again again Tried and tested tried and tested Still here still here Nothing perfect never was Change what needs to keep what does Tried and tested tried and tested Still here [OUTRO] Tested Still here Tried and tested Still here
