The Basement

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I wanna go where the sun never shines
Over the treeline to the darkness in my mind
Somewhere known to me
Somewhere profound
Step inside the walls I made to keep you out

[Pre-Chorus]
And we can sleep inside the catacombs
Of college summers coming home
The basement's always full of slow but it's out of the rain

[Chorus]
And it might never, never, never, never
Never be the same
But don't you ever, ever, ever, ever
Ever change

[Verse 2]
Walk with me, as we venture down the hall
Back to when I wasn't big enough to fall
And we can sit, like we're pictures on the shelf
Pick up pieces, of all the ones that fell

[Pre-Chorus]
Family photo 92 or 3
Before there was a you or me
When mama had other children and said, "everything's okay"

[Chorus]
And it might never, never, never, never
Never be the same
But don't you ever, ever, ever, ever
Ever change

[Bridge]
Now I dream in monotone
The same phrases on the phone
Mama's never coming home
But I called her anyway

Yeah, it's a cold, lovely time
Like cloud cover on an island
When the sun is stuck boiling
Left to fester, down to twilight
Comes to clear my mind again
I'm up in bed again
So stoned I can't pretend
That it's over for the day

[Outro]
And it might never, never, never, never
Never be the same
