06. Get Out of the Feed

[Intro] Low battery, high hopes Same old screen, same old jokes Mm, yeah [Verse 1] You send a little heart, I send a little lie We keep each other busy while the minutes crawl by Your face in a blue square, mine in a dirty train Two ghosts in good reception, pretending we're okay The corner shop is closing, the pavement's wet with beer A siren folds the distance, then disappears You say, “Come over,” like you mean it this time I pull on my old jacket and leave the phone behind [Pre-Chorus] If I vanish, don't panic I'm just tired of being managed [Chorus] Get out, get out, get out of the feed Come close, come close, give me something I can feel No likes, no lights, no little blue proof Just you in the doorway saying, “What are we gonna do?” Get out, get out, get out of the feed Come close, come close, give me something I can feel [Gang vocals] Come close! Come close! [Lead] Yeah, that's better, innit? [Verse 2] I know a late-night place where the ceiling leaks rain The barman never asks us to explain We trade our dead batteries for a cigarette machine And laugh at all the futures that we nearly streamed Your coat smells like winter and the underground line You lean against my shoulder like you're wasting my time I say, “Don't get sentimental,” you say, “Don't be a fool” Then your hand finds mine beneath the table like a fool [Chorus] Get out, get out, get out of the feed Come close, come close, give me something I can feel No likes, no lights, no little blue proof Just you in the doorway saying, “What are we gonna do?” Get out, get out, get out of the feed Come close, come close, give me something I can feel [Gang vocals] Come close! Come close! [Lead] Don't make a whole thing of it. [Rap Verse] Look, I know the map, I know the route, I know the quickest way home I know the password, know the code, still I sleep with the phone Face down, screen cracked, little tyrant on mute Everybody wants a window, nobody wants the view So meet me by the shutter when the last bus sighs Bring that look you wear when you're trying not to smile We'll talk about nothing till the nothing feels true And if you ask me what I want—well, obviously, you [Bridge] The towers blink in sequence Like they know what we've been hiding But your laugh cuts through the signal And the whole dead town goes quiet [Chorus] Get out, get out, get out of the feed Come close, come close, give me something I can feel No likes, no lights, no little blue proof Just you in the doorway saying, “What are we gonna do?” Get out, get out, get out of the feed Come close, come close, give me something I can feel [Gang vocals] Come close! Come close! [Lead] Alright then. Stay a minute. [Outro] No signal, no signal, let it disappear Your voice in the stairwell, suddenly clear No signal, no signal, nothing to prove Just the bass in the hallway and the way that you move [Gang vocals] Come close... come close... [Lead] Yeah, don't ruin it by talking. [Instrumental dub outro]
