Basements Lyrics

This winter
When the sun goes down and all you have is this
We get better
But you can't forget the basements that you miss
We got stronger
Kicking the sky until it breaks the day
We get better, we get better
We get better every day

And when you're walking home tonight
Be sure you get the words and cadence right
Between the bottle and the unlocked door
They'll be scraps of paper littering the floor
We hit the ocean
Stop the car and let our records out to sea

This winter
When the sun goes down and all you have is this
We get better
But you can't forget the basements that you miss
We got stronger
Kicking the sky until it breaks the day
We get better, we get better
We get better every day

And when you're walking home tonight
Be sure you get the notes and cadence right
There is a basement where we built these songs
We made them learn the words to sing along
You hit the ocean
Stop the car and let your records out to sea

This winter
When the sun goes down and all you have is this
We get better
But you can't resist the basements that you miss
We got stronger
Kicking the sky until it breaks the day
We get better, we get better
We get better every day
