The XX - Basic Space



I love this song.

  1. Neck, chest, waist to floor
    Easy to take, you could take me in fours
    Make me a deal, a day a piece
    Take it all, just stay a week

    I'll take you in pieces
    We can take it all apart
    I've suffered shipwrecks right from the start
    I've been underwater, breathing out and in
    I think I'm losing where you end and I begin

    Basic space, open air
    Don't look away, when there's nothing there

    I'm setting us in stone
    Piece by piece, before I'm alone
    Air tight, before we break
    Keep it in, keep us safe

    It's a pool of boiling wax
    I'm getting in
    Let it set
    Got to seal this in
    Can't adjust, Can't relearn
    Got to keep what I have, preserve

    Basic space, open air
    Don't look away, when there's nothing there

    Hot wax has left me with a shine
    Wouldn't know if I'd been left behind
    Second skin, second skin

    I can't let it out, I still let you in
    I can't let it out, I still let you in

    p.s. remember how they're going to be in Bloomington next month?
