Back to the Basics

Ooh ah
Ooh ah
Ooh ah, ah, ah, ah
Ooh ah, ah, ah, ah
Ooh ah, ah, ah, ah
Ooh ah, ah, ah, ah

Try to be more Interesting and important
Paint a sunset but the colors fall
Short
Writing nonsense in calligraphy
Won't make it less Boring
Abbreviate a whole scene into One word
I'm not good at keeping simple, I
Chase rabbits through the halls of my
Mind's a Labyrinth desperately in need of
Street signs
Let's rewind

Ooh, When I've lost my mind
I go Back to the Basics all the time
I'm always searching for the Perfect rhyme
I go Back to the Basics all the time
I go Back to the Basics all the
Time

Try too hard, I harm myself in the process
Try to Strong-arm Inspiration
But when has that ever worked out well
You can't Force a rainbow into the sky
But I wrestle Abstractions all the time
I wonder why I Never sleep at night
Let's rewind

Ooh, When I've lost my mind
I go Back to the Basics all the time
I'm always Falling for what I can't find
I go Back to the Basics all the time
I go Back to the Basics all the
Time

I've been
Staring at an
Empty page
For six hours now
Can't seem to find an
Encapsulating
Tragic tale to
Write about
Except how

Ooh, When I've lost my mind
I go Back to the Basics all the time
I'm always so afraid of Falling behind
I go Back to the Basics all the time
I go Back to the Basics all the

Ooh, When I've lost my mind
I go Back to the Basics all the time
Sometimes it just feels Good to Feel Alive
I go Back to the Basics all the time
I go Back to the Basics
All
The
Time

Ooh ah, ah, ah, ah
Ooh ah, ah, ah, ah
Ooh ah, ah, ah, ah

Ooh ah, ah, ah, ah
Ooh ah, ah, ah, ah
Ooh ah, ah, ah, ah
Ooh ah, ah, ah, ah

Ta da, da, da
Ooh Woah
Ta da, da, da
Ooh Woah
Ta da, da, da
Ooh Woah
