Lyrics:

Have you ever been compelled?
Under a spell? From a protagonist
who knows you far too well? Have
you ever been undone by a slip
of the tongue? And betrayed a

side of you that felt hard-won? So

we watch the water swell from a

Scottish hotel. “Have you ever fell,

have you ever fell?”



Are you going to tell me why

there’s a bag packed by the

bedroom window? It’s a pack of

lies: “Everything has to reach a

peak sometime.”

Tell me why there’s a map laying

flat on the bedside table? It’s a

pack of lies — it’s not a peak, it’s

a plateau. Let me know when you

want to leave this island. Let me

know when you want to hear my

point of view.



In the Observation Lounge,

couples ready to pounce, but

there’s a reticence from treading

icy ground. So we watch the

water swell from a Scottish hotel.

“Have you ever fell, have you

ever fell?”



I’ll stand up for you. I will act as

a semaphore. I will guide you to

a perfect landing. I will act as

a distant shore. I will aim to be

the last man standing for you. I’ll

stand up for you when you want

to leave this island; when you

want to hear my point of view.
