[Verse 1] Leeds ring road Empty lanes Cheap petrol You laughed at how I stall Every time I get too close Coffee gone cold On the dash by your knees Boot full of flat-pack boxes You reading out the Swedish like a speech (hey) [Chorus] Leeds to Huddersfield Late-night drives You tracing maps on the glass by my side Building flat-pack dreams in your new place Books on the floor Curtains half-hanged Still felt like grace Now it’s separate roads and silent phones Two pillows One used The other alone I’m staring at the shape you didn’t take And I don’t know how we lost our space [Verse 2] Allen key In a mug by your sink We joked it was our secret Little metal wedding ring Takeaway On the box we just built You said “If this thing collapses We’ll just lean against the mess and call it ours” (oh) [Chorus] Leeds to Huddersfield Late-night drives You humming low to stay awake by my side Building flat-pack dreams in your new place Plants on the sill Mattress on floor Still felt like faith Now it’s separate roads and silent phones Your side of town like a country I don’t know I’m tracing every line we didn’t take And I don’t know how we lost our space [Bridge] Was it one harsh word? Or a hundred small ones? Was it all those plans Stuffed back in their cartons? I still keep that screw I found under your bed Tiny Useless thing Heavy as the things we left unsaid [Chorus] Leeds to Huddersfield Late-night drives I still see your tired eyes in every sign Building flat-pack dreams in your new place Hands in my hair “we’ll make it there ” you used to say Now it’s separate roads and silent phones Ghost notifications lighting up my home I’m staring at the space you didn’t take And I don’t know how we lost our space

Melancholic indie-pop ballad, midtempo groove. Intimate male vocals over clean electric guitar and warm bass, brushed drums, and soft synth pads. Verses stay close and conversational; chorus blooms with wider harmonies and a subtle octave vocal. Bridge strips to guitar and voice before the full band swells back for a final, aching chorus and gentle outro., flat
