lyrics

Seven on the clock, kettle on the boil

One plate in the sink, same old yellow tile

I left the group chat sitting on my phone

Bought a jam doughnut, ate it on my own

Bus passed by the window, number forty-three

Rain on the back yard, beats against the sheeting

I lit one cheap candle on a Tesco cake

Looked at that small flame, then I let it break

On purpose

On purpose

On purpose

On purpose

I took the long way home

On purpose

On purpose

On purpose

On purpose

And I was good alone

Put my coat on the chair, keys by the door

Left the telly talking to the kitchen floor

No queue at the pub, no song in the hall

Just a paper bag and my boots by the wall

Half past eight, and the plate stays clean

Mug ring on the counter, where my thumb had been

I watched one match replay on a cracked old screen

Knew exactly what I meant by what I need

On purpose

On purpose

On purpose

On purpose

I took the long way home

On purpose

On purpose

On purpose

On purpose

And I was good alone

North wind at the window, ten o'clock sharp

One sock on the radiator, one sock in the dark

If you rang the bell, I’d hear it, I’d know

But tonight’s my own lane, and I’m keeping it so

On purpose

On purpose

On purpose

On purpose

I took the long way home

On purpose

On purpose

On purpose

On purpose

And I was good alone
