lyrics

Lyrics by Jacob Mitchell

[Chorus]
I remember warm beers in December
Basement blues, drown out the pain
Take me back to the boys with no clue
Basement blues, gone are the days!

[Verse 1]
Take me back to the days when I was young and dumb
Sweet escape, bad mistakes, burned away ‘till I’m undone
Take me back to the days when I pushed it all down
Is it better to drag myself along or will I swim ‘till I drown?

[Interlude]
Sweet escape, Sweet escape!

[Verse 2]
Here I wait, open arms, for the wave crashing over me
Take me, use me, cleanse me of all my anxiety
I never seek it but I smile at its name
I close my eyes and I can see it in the flame

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
Was it better to be numb and push away the strain?
Is it better just to face down the sea in vein
Am I better than who I was when I ran away?
Is this ache inside of me the result of growing pains?

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
