Telly Glow

Pre-Chorus
Don’t make it deep, don’t make it neat,
Some nights only need a heartbeat.
If the world feels heavy, we don’t slow,
We lift our heads in the old room glow.

Chorus
Under the telly glow, I remember us loud,
Hands up high like a roof made of cloud.
If time wants proof, tell time “no”,
We’re still them kids in the room-lit glow.
Under the telly glow, say my name,
Same sweet risk, same silly flame.
Let the rain do what rain will do,
I come back to life when I’m close to you.

Verse 2
Sticker book dreams and a pocket full of dares,
Borrowed jumper warmth and a look that cares.
We’d talk too big, then laugh it off,
Try not to blush when the tune goes soft.
Now the years play tug on my sleeve,
Some days I’m sharp, some days I’m relieved.
But when your voice hits, I’m sixteen again,
Running on joy like it’s pure oxygen.

Pre-Chorus
Hold me plain, no grand parade,
I like love honest, slightly frayed.
If the world feels heavy, we don’t slow,
We lift our heads in the old room glow.

Bridge (half-time, intimate)
I don’t need new, I don’t need gold,
Just that feeling I can’t outgrow.
If I get lost in my own head,
Pull me back with the words you said.

Final Chorus (biggest, chanty)
Under the telly glow, we’re a singalong crowd,
Hearts on sleeve, no hiding allowed.
If time wants proof, tell time “no”,
We’re still them kids in the room-lit glow.
Under the telly glow, stay right here,
Same loud love, same cheap cheer.
Let the rain do what rain will do,
I come back to life when I’m close to you.

[LYRICS START] Verse 1 Back when a tenner felt like a plan, When we’d swear “next week” and we meant it, man. Plastic chairs lined up, sports hall heat, New pair scuffed by the end of the beat. Someone’s laugh doing laps round the room, Sweat and hope in a cheap spray plume. I weren’t brave, I just acted the role, Till you looked my way and I felt whole. Pre-Chorus Don’t make it deep, don’t make it neat, Some nights only need a heartbeat. If the world feels heavy, we don’t slow, We lift our heads in the old room glow. Chorus Under the telly glow, I remember us loud, Hands up high like a roof made of cloud. If time wants proof, tell time “no”, We’re still them kids in the room-lit glow. Under the telly glow, say my name, Same sweet risk, same silly flame. Let the rain do what rain will do, I come back to life when I’m close to you.
