Back To The Basics
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So many lost in the shadows
we pretend that there's nothing at stake
is it fact that we follow
or the frictional stops that we take
trying hard to leave behind
is manic in motion
fighting just to stay alive ...
I've gotta get back to the basics
Back to the basics now
I'm running circles
There's only one way out.
Everything inside of me is telling me
That it's about time to open my eyes
back to the basics
'cause I can make this right.
it's now or never, now or never,
no more wasting time
it's getting better,
once we sever and erase these ties
it's now or never, now or never
like the shot from a starting gun
racing for the finish line
but i'm just learning bleary eyed
chasing something i can't find
back to the basics
back to the basics now
I'm running circles
there's only one way out
Everything inside of me
is telling me that it's about time to open my eyes
back to basics, 'cause i can make this ...
It's just a manic in motion
that keeps us from the other side
fighting just to stay alive
it goes on...
back to the basics
back to the basics now
I'm running circles
there's only one way out
Everything inside of me is telling me
that it's about time to open my eyes.
back to the basics
'cause I can't face this life.
It's now or never make it right.
It's now 'cause I can't face this life.
It's now or never
going back to the basics.
