I still come through…

Lyrics

[118 BPM] [INTRO - 8 BARS - SYNTH PADS, BASS PULSE, NASAL FALSETTO] Oh-au-ooo-oh… Streetlights through the London haze last bus cutting through Half the windows still awake another night to move [VERSE 1] Yeah, the cold can get inside you gets into your bones But there’s something in this city makes you carry on They say it’s all just madness the money and the grind Maybe But I’ve lived here long enough to make some of it mine Someone arguing downstairs someone on the fourth When that little voice says “You’ve had enough” I let it talk Then get back up [PRE-CHORUS] City breathing heavy lines across my face Heart still moving four-four time Ground goes sideways So do I [CHORUS - STACKED FALSETTO] I still come through Yeah, I still come through Not quite how I planned it but I still come through Still safe still here I’m telling you Something in me knows what it has to do I still come through [INSTRUMENTAL - 16 BARS] [VERSE 2] Another week another lesson Some I could’ve missed Somebody stops saying hello you add them to the list Faces go and memories change Funny what remains A smell a song a stupid joke from some forgotten day Early morning corner shop strip lights coming on Some days getting out the door is enough to carry on [PRE-CHORUS] Feet on pavement head somewhere else Same old rumours Same old bit I’ve heard enough I’m over it [CHORUS] I still come through Yeah, I still come through Not quite how I planned it but I still come through Still safe still here Something in me knows what it has to do I still come through [INSTRUMENTAL - SYNTH, BASS, RHYTHM GUITAR] [BRIDGE - STRIPPED BACK] Can you hear that little buzz before the phone goes dead? The boiler in the cupboard someone moving overhead Nothing very beautiful nothing you would frame But tonight I’m standing here and that’ll do me [PAUSE] Yeah… That’ll do me [FINAL CHORUS] I still come through (I still come through) Not quite how I planned it but I still come through Still safe still here Something in me knows what it has to do I still come through [OUTRO - LOOSE FALSETTO] Last bus going Windows on Someone’s home Someone’s gone And me— I still come through
