Written in Bristol. The lyrics were co-written.

lyrics

My heart when it sees her is like a drum machine,
my gut does the talking and I know what it means.
These once domesticated animals are running wild,
in my cranium kingdom, she's the religion required.

It's not nothing, it's something, it's not nothing, it's something.
It's not nothing, it's something, it's not nothing, it's something.
It's not nothing, it's something, it's not nothing, it's something.
It's not nothing, it's something, it's not nothing, it's something.

Letzte Nacht sah ich ihn wieder in hell erleuchteten Räumen.
Wir lebten mit Tieren, von Vögeln geboren.
Es war warm und er lag wie das Licht auf mir.
Ich warte auf Sprache und ich schlafe zu viel.

It's not nothing, it's something, it's not nothing, it's something.
It's not nothing, it's something, it's not nothing, it's something.
It's not nothing, it's something, it's not nothing, it's something.
It's not nothing, it's something, it's not nothing, it's something.

(Lead Break)

It's not nothing, it's something, it's not nothing, it's something.
It's not nothing, it's something, it's not nothing, it's something.
It's not nothing, it's something, it's not nothing, it's something.
It's not nothing, it's something, it's not nothing, it's something.
