Verse 1
Twenty years ago you met in a room with no windows
Somebody's cousin was DJing and the floor was sticky
Nuala says she saw you first, Frankie says the opposite
Neither of you can produce a single witness
I was fifteen and not invited and I heard about it
For about four months, in extraordinary detail
Pre-Chorus
Now there's a stairgate and a shed and a leaking gutter
And three kids who have never once seen you dance
So I have made you the room back. Four minutes of it
Chorus
Push the table to the wall, it's the anniversary
Kitchen lino, one small speaker, twenty years
Same beat you started on, just older and still going
Frankie, Nuala — go on. Nobody's watching but me
Verse 2
You do the shopping in shifts and you split the school run
You've a shared calendar and a long joke about the boiler
That's the part nobody writes the big songs about
So this one is about the boiler and the calendar too
You still make each other laugh in the middle of an argument
Which is, as far as I can tell, the whole trick
Chorus
Push the table to the wall, it's the anniversary
Kitchen lino, one small speaker, twenty years
Same beat you started on, just older and still going
Frankie, Nuala — go on. Nobody's watching but me
Bridge
The kids are upstairs. They will absolutely come down
Ivy will claim she was only getting a glass of water
Let them see it. Let them think you're embarrassing
They will want this exact thing in twenty years
Final Chorus
Push the table to the wall, it's the anniversary
Kitchen lino, one small speaker, twenty years
Same beat you started on, just older and still going
Frankie, Nuala — go on. The whole house is awake
Outro
Ivy's on the stairs. I can see her on the stairs
Twenty years, Frankie. Twenty years, Nuala
Somebody put it on again
