Back To Basics

from Self Destruct by Down In Autumn

/

lyrics

Back to basics you're hoping to be a someone
that every person is hoping to meet
A list of lovers as long as your arm, and that’s ok,
Cause every person is perfecting the art

You're just another sentence.
You make them up to pass the time
and leave a message leading them on down that lonely line and
you feel like shit about it,
Erasing numbers from your phone,
We’re wasting so much time alone.

Once you get past the opening words, then you’ll find,
That every person has nothing you like
And all you want is to be understood, but you know,
What's the difference when you're in the mood?

They're just another write off,
You sign them up to pass the time,
There's not much point in leading them on down the same old line.
You feel like shit about it,
Just adding numbers to your phone,
We're wasting no more time alone.

This arrangement, it's pretty vacant,
I hate faking, I want better now
And I’ll say it, I cant play it,
But ill make it cause I'm fading out

I'm just another sentence, I make them up to pass the time, I'll leave a message leading you on down that lonely line and
I feel like shit about it, erasing numbers from my phone we're wasting too much time alone.
