Flicking Through The Wire
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
Fingers moving slow through the sleeves
Nothing here I'm in a rush to find
Then your name comes up in my head
Rupert, and the whole day settles in my mind

[Chorus]
Rupert, you're the one I stop for
Halfway through the metal wire
Something steady in a room of noise
You're the calm I didn't know I'd require

[Verse 2]
Every sleeve looks the same at first
Cardboard corners, dust and old ink
Then I think of how you laugh at nothing
And I'm smiling before I even blink

[Pre-chorus]
I could stand here for another hour
Not looking for a single thing
Just thinking how you make it simple

[Chorus]
Rupert, you're the one I stop for
Halfway through the metal wire
Something steady in a room of noise
You're the calm I didn't know I'd require

[Bridge]
No need to play the record loud
You hum it quiet and it's enough
I never thought I'd want this slowness
Until you showed me how to trust it

[Chorus]
Rupert, you're the one I stop for
Halfway through the metal wire
Something steady in a room of noise
You're the calm I didn't know I'd require

[Outro]
I'll keep flicking through the sleeves
Knowing you're the one I'll pick, Rupert
