Basically Songtext
von Catfish and the Bottlemen

Textbook, I tried to clean the house before you woke up
I left recording finishing the same hook
I was singing when we come in from dinner
And there′s a tune on
That's slightly reminiscent of an old song
That my father used to play when he was on one
They say I act just like him

Basically, I do this all the time
′Cause lately we, seem to have it right

And when I finally found a place, I said I'd get you round
To talk through all the things you thought that I'd forget about
But nothing′s really changed, between then and now
We′re trying to play this off like it's not all we think about

Textbook, I tried to count my blessings in the lift up
I′d leave but Steve is giving me the same look
That he gives me when I've turned up for stage late
And I′d be working my ticket but I know that I'll be all night
I think we best just get The Balance right


′Cause basically, I do this all the time
And lately we, seem to have it right

And when I finally found a place, I said I'd get you round
To talk through all the things you thought that I'd forget about
But nothing′s really changed, between then and now
We′re trying to play this off like it's not all we think about

And without a doubt
When I′m running out
Of ideas
I'll be coming straight back here

′Cause when I finally found a place, I said I'd get you round
To talk through all the things you thought that I′d forget about
And nothing's really changed, between then and now
We're trying to play this off like it′s not all we think about

′Cause basically, I do this all the time
And lately we, seem to have it right
'Cause basically, I do this all the time
And lately we, seem to have it right
And basically, I do this all the time
