High In The Basement lyrics
by Julien Baker
Lyrics From Live Performance
[Verse 1]
Nobody does anything anymore
I wanna do something now
I’m awake at a quarter to four
Where you go, I’ll go
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna show you the shape of my heart
Not have to explain it
Up late, whistling in the dark
Trying to change my tune
[Chorus]
Turn it off, I whine like a broken faucet
What I want, I do the opposite of
Love is isolation
A slow disintegration of fabric
The superimposition of negatives
Exposing the image, the image
The image, the image of love
[Verse 2]
Where do you go when you disappear?
How can I retrace it?
Everywhere looks a little like here
I cannot replace it
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna show you the shape of my heart
Not have to explain it
Up late, whistling in the dark
All night, power-making
[Chorus]
Turn it on, I whine like a faucet
What I want, I do the opposite of
Love is isolation
The language I could only
Misinterpret out of fear
Too [?] to see, too [?] of hearing
Heaven showed we can live there in the image
Of love
