Matt Pond Pa Basement Parties Lyrics

Basement Parties Lyrics

When you wake up on your face

On the bedroom carpet

Count back all the ways

That you ended up there



You can't remember someone else's story

You can't remember that you don't feel sorry

So get up, get out, lines are gone

With the green you're leaving



I don't mind silence

I don't mind sitting

I can be quiet

I wish you could hear me



Go back, you repeat

Trace the veins that you don't want to see

With your hands in your hair

Don't leave your fingers buried



Do you think that we could try forgetting?

The places we've gone with the ceiling spinning

Slow down until we stop

We have to steal this night back



I don't mind silence

I don't mind sitting

I can be quiet

I wish you could hear me



I'm tired of going to these basement parties

Where everybody wants to leave their body

I'm hiding in the bathroom with no witness

I'm speaking through the door about some sickness



I don't mind silence

I don't mind sitting

I can be quiet

I wish you could hear me



I don't mind silence

I don't mind sitting

I'm keeping the quiet

I wish you could hear me
