Basic Space (Jamie xx Space Bass Mix) Lyrics by The xx

Basic Space (Remixes)

2009

[Verse 1: Oliver Sim]
Neck, chest, waist to floor
Easy to take, you could take me in fours
Make me a deal, a day a piece
Take it all, just stay a week
[Verse 2: Romy]
I'll take you in pieces, we can take all apart
I've suffered shipwrecks right from the start
I've been underwater, breathing out and in
I think I'm losing where you end and I begin
[Chorus: Both]
Basic space, open air
Don't look away when there's nothing there
[Verse 3: Romy]
I'm setting us in stone
Piece by piece before I'm alone
Air tight before we break
Keep it in, keep us safe
[Verse 4: Oliver Sim]
It's a pool of boiling wax, I'm getting in
Let it set, got to seal this in
Can't adjust, can't relearn
Got to keep what I have, preserve
[Chorus: Both]
Basic space, open air
Don't look away when there's nothing there
[Bridge: Oliver Sim]
Hot wax has left me with a shine
Wouldn't know if I've been left behind
Second skin
Second skin
[Outro: Both]
I can't let it out
I still let you in
I can't let it out
I still let you in
