Basement Lyrics

[Verse]
Let's go down in our basement
It’s where we like time wasting
Hide from all the things that we're hating
It's got a trapdoor and everything

And it’s got a little sofa
We sleep down there, though it's colder
And it's a Friday night but the music out's shite
So we stay here with the old stuff

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Small things make big shadows
Skyscrapers in the walls follow us down
Every mistake we made, we built ourselves a town

[Chorus]
In the basement, oh
In the basement
In the basement, yeah
In the basement, ha

[Bridge]
We drink our tea in the basement
We smoke 'til three in the basement
We live our dreams in the basement
Wembley in the basement
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Small things make big shadows
Skyscrapers in the walls follow us down
Every mistake we made, we built ourselves a town

[Chorus]
In the basement
In the basement
In the basement
In the basement, ha

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Small things, big shadows
Small things, big shadows
Small things, big shadows
Small things make big shadows, oh

[Chorus]
In the basement
In the basement
In the basement
Small things make big shadows

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
