Discover the story of the song > Chicago – Alt J

The lyrics talk about someone who feels closer to their partner when they are together. They mention seeing rain in the town below them and how it reminds them of their father. The lyrics also mention a moment when they were watching TV together and their partner's face was illuminated by a torch. They describe feeling a sense of panic, similar to when someone tries to tame wild horses. The lyrics then mention an apparition that lifts them up and they see their partner's face above the trees. They feel calm and reassured as they sail down a hillside together. The lyrics repeat the idea of being together on a hill in the night.
