The Basics Lyrics by The Silhouet

Death of a Poet

2017

You are living in a world, living in a world, spent so dreadfully
You are living in a world, living in a world, spent so dreadfully
I’ll take you back, take you back to, the time you and I were lying under covers
I think you knew, I think you knew then, that time wasn’t made for you and I together
We are getting back to, getting back to the basics, you and me
We are getting back to, getting back to the basics
You know, you know
This path that we lead will be crumbling down
You know, you know
If you take it or leave it, it will lead to remorse
Remorse …
You are dreaming in a world, dreaming in a world, spent regretfully
You are dreaming in a world, dreaming in a world, spent regretfully
I’ll make you walk, I’ll make you walk through, the house you and I were living in comfort
I bet you could, I bet you could spend, that time in your head, alone forever ever
We are getting back to, getting back to the basics, you and me
We are getting back to, getting back to the basics
You know, you know
This path that we lead will be crumbling down
You know, you know
If you take it or leave it, it will lead to remorse
