[Instrumental Intro] [Atmospheric pads, clean tremolo guitar motif, deep bass, sparse brushed drums] [Verse 1] You ask if I've eaten I say I waited for you You put your bag on the table Say I didn't have to We split what was left from Sunday You eat standing up I start to tell you something Then say it wasn't much [Chorus] Lower than blue And it's only Tuesday You ask how I've been I say, “Same as usual” You reach for my hand I give it to you I wish that was all We needed to do [Instrumental Break] [Clean guitar hook, melodic bass response, drums switch to sticks] [Verse 2] You laugh at something your sister sent And turn so I can see I lean across your shoulder You play it twice for me For a while we talk quite easily About her kids, your work I nearly ask about the weekend Then remember you're away [Chorus] Lower than blue And it's only Tuesday You ask how I've been I say, “Same as usual” You reach for my hand I give it to you I wish that was all We needed to do [Extended Instrumental] [Develop the guitar hook, bass counter-melody, rising tom fills, gradually overdriven guitars] [Bridge] You say you've seen a place you like It's near your sister's flat I ask if you can pay for it We talk a while about that Then you ask about the table Would I mind if you took it? I say, “You always liked it more” And have to stop a minute [Final Chorus] Lower than blue And it's nearly Wednesday You ask if I'll be all right I say, “I expect so” You reach for my hand I give it to you We sit there a while Like we used to do [Instrumental Outro] [Full drums and ringing guitars, then return to the clean opening motif, sustained final chord]
