Discover the story of the song > 3Ww – Alt J

The protagonist is a young man who lives a carefree and spontaneous life. He doesn't have a permanent place to sleep, instead he sleeps wherever he finds himself and looks up at the sky as his roof. One night, he sees a blue neon lamp in a field and it catches his attention. He notices cows around him and leans on them, feeling comforted. He then talks about how he and his partner say three important words to each other, which are probably "I love you", and compares them to the way tourists in Verona rub their hands for good luck. He wants to express his love for his partner in his own unique way. In another part of the song, a woman sings about some girls from a pool who say hi. She talks about how the road along England's east coastline is eroding, about five feet per year. She asks if this is the protagonist's first time experiencing love, and compares love to a button they pressed the night before by a camp fire. Overall, the song is about the protagonist's desire to express his love for his partner in a unique and personal way.
