The XX - Basic Space lyrics

rate me

Neck, chest, wait 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 loosing where you end and I begin

Basic space, open air

Don’t look away, when there’s nothing there

I’m setting is in store

Piece by piece, before I'm alone

Air tight, before we break

Keep it in, keep up safe

I’m 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
