lyrics

(sampled voice: "I'm fine, I'm fine, I promise I'm— okay no I'm not")
(same clip, chopped, looped)

She sent it at four in the morning and did not mean to send it
Thirty seconds, background traffic, somebody's telly going
And she called at six to ask if I had listened yet
And I said no. And I had listened eleven times.

And this is the whole thing, isn't it
Everybody is doing this
Everybody is fine at four in the morning

("okay no I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not")
(piano, breakbeat, euphoric)
("okay no I'm not")

I asked if I could use it and she laughed for about a minute
And then she said yes, and then she said please don't tell my mum

("okay no I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not")
("okay no I'm not")

("I'm fine, I'm fine, I promise I'm—")
