lyrics

(they manage)

I have been indispensable since nineteen ninety-eight
A man on the phone at four, a fixer, a last resort
And I turned it off for nine days in September
And the whole apparatus carried on without me

They manage (they manage)
It turns out they manage
Nobody needed me, they manage
They manage

They manage, they manage, they manage, they manage
I built a life on being the one who answers
They manage, they manage, they manage, they manage
And they were always going to be fine without me

That should feel like grief and for two days it did.
And then on day three I understood what it actually is.
If they manage, then everything I do now, I chose. All of it.
(FULL PRODUCTION, BIGGEST)

They manage, they manage, they manage, they manage
I built a life on being the one who answers
They manage, they manage, they manage, they manage
And they were always going to be fine without me

(they manage...)
