1-2-3-4... Under the light of the moon Scanning the shadows of you room And I sit across so high I'm never coming down I'm not a thief I'm a man Only a peek is what I'll take And I'll just stay outside And stare into your window In the basement You'd be safer But you don't change there I'm not blind I see fine The view Just you Bare And you'll find me with the day's last cigarette You are not alone Cause I'll find you where you are Remember that Never alone I'm just a fly on the wall You wouldn't notice me at all No one is there to Catch my fall Everyone slips sometimes I'm no different In the basement You'd be safer I'm not blind I see fine The view Just you I'm not blind I see fine The view It's just you Bare In the fortress Of this basement I got drunk on her perfume (Whoa) I'm not saying (Been saying) That we made it (I cannot) I got high on her perfume (Shoot her) I'll take it back (I wanna feel this way again) I'll take it back (I've never felt so strong) I'll take it back (And when you go outside) I'll take it back (I'll stay with you...you're beautiful) I'll take it back I'll take it back I'll take it back In the basement You'd be safer But you don't change there I'm not blind I see fine The view Just you I'm not blind I see fine The view It's just you Bare |
