Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We stood at the edge of the cliffs

While the wildness

Spat foam and dust into our eyes

The six of us squinted

And half smiled, half grimaced at each other

Held hands and jumped

[Verse 2]

The wet rocks flew towards us

At breakneck speed

And death looked certain

Until at the last moment

The rocks or the shore

Or the world disappeared

And with the slightest buzzing sound

We passed into a realm of coloured lights

[Verse 3]

The sky was blue

And seemed to be made out of

Painted tea bags

And everywhere beneath our feet

Was plastic grass

Although on closer inspection

Each solitary blade

Was seen to be a tiny green cat

Balancing improbably

On the tip of its tail

[Verse 4]

For a moment the world shifted uncomfortably

Before folding terrifyingly in on itself

And we found ourselves

Back on the clifftop in wet anoraks

Ashley's mate, Ian snapped the polaroid at that exact moment

And we still have that picture on the fridge

It was mad

But it kind of made the holiday

[Chorus]

Sometimes it's enough to know that we were there

At that exact moment

Sometimes it's enough to feel the moment tear

At that exact moment

[Verse 5]

For weeks afterwards

We all kept having the same dream

We were alone underground

Trapped beneath the roots of a gigantic tree

We struggled and fought to free ourselves

And eventually were again close to death

Exhausted and unable to breathe

At that final moment we gave up completely

And suddenly found that we were the roots

We were the tree

At that exact moment

We stretched our branches

Like newly woken children

And walked away

Towards the horizon and the sea beyond

Leaving nothing behind us

But a huge hole in the earth

And a crumpled polaroid photograph

Nestled in the ground

At that exact moment

[Chorus]

Sometimes it's enough to know that we were there

At that exact moment

At that exact moment

Sometimes it's enough to feel the moment tear

Drink the world again

Wrap it in your arms until it soaks into your skin

At that exact moment

Don't resist the pain

Let it fizz like morning in your chest

And in your brain

At that exact moment

If there was nothing

Nothing but this picture and your mind had gone to seed

At that exact moment

Would there be something?

At that exact moment

Dive into your tea until it overflows

At that exact moment

[Chorus]

Sometimes it's enough to know that we were there

At that exact moment

At that exact moment

Sometimes it's enough to know that we were there

At that exact moment

At that exact moment

Sometimes it's enough to know that we were there

At that exact moment

At that exact moment

Sometimes it's enough to feel the moment tear
