Basement Apartment Lyrics by Haley Blais

Sweet Surrender / Basement Apartment (Protection Island Sessions)

2024

[Verse 1]
Well, you live out, where the street ends
In a basement apartment with one of your friends
And the tap drips all night, water torture in the sink
The furnace is burning, but it's still cold, I think
[Verse 2]
I can smell the bleach that they use in the hall
But it can't clean the dirt off of me
It's seeping under the door, in across the floor
It's starting to hurt
[Chorus]
Every time, I breathe
Every time I try to leave
Every time I breathe
[Verse 3]
The toastеr sticks and the empties arе piled
Haven't been up the stairs in a while now
I gotta wash the sheets on my bed
I gotta watch those things that go unsaid
God, I wish we'd leave it at this
[Chorus]
Every time I breathe
Every time I try to leave
Every time I breathe
[Bridge]
And every evening, you open the door
You come down
There's nothing like watching TV all night underground
And no one is watching me slide
Below street level, barely alive
[Verse 4]
Well, now, we live out where the street ends
In a basement apartment just like our friends
We always said that we were different
But you know now that we weren't
'Cause there's holes in all the bottles
And my lungs hurt
[Chorus]
Every time I breathe
Every time I try to leave
Every time I breathe
