Back to Basics

[Verse 1]

You took a bite of the apple so sweet

Now it's only poison that you eat

Yeah, your lips drip, lips drip, lips drip with the taste

You used to be such a pretty girl

A pretty flower with a golden soul

But your heart ripped, heart ripped, heart ripped, and you changed

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And I know lonely girls always feel the same, 'cause I'm a broken girl

[Chorus]

Stars collide in your eyes tonight, and the city burns your body bright

And you know, you know, you know you're going nowhere

Stars collide in your eyes tonight, and the city burns your body bright

And you know, you know, you know you're going nowhere

[Verse 2]

You hold the hands of the boys you know

Your bony fingers will not lеt them go

But it's not right, not right, not right, and you lie

You want the guy that you lovеd before

The one you chewed up and spat on the floor

But you're wasting, wasting, wasting all your time

[Pre-Chorus 2]

'Cause I know lonely boys always feel the same, and he's a broken boy

[Chorus]

Stars collide in your eyes tonight, and the city burns your body bright

And you know, you know, you know you're going nowhere

Stars collide in your eyes tonight, and the city burns your body bright

And you know, you know, you know you're going nowhere

[Post-Chorus]

Nowhere, nowhere

You're going nowhere

Nowhere, nowhere

[Bridge]

If we just go back to basics, then maybe, maybe, maybe we can start our story over again

If we just go back to basics, then maybe, maybe, maybe we can start our story over again

[Chorus]

Stars collide in your eyes tonight, and the city burns your body bright

And you know, you know, you know you're going nowhere

Stars collide in your eyes tonight, and the city burns your body bright

And you know, you know, you know you're going nowhere

[Outro]

If we just go back to basics, then maybe, maybe, maybe we can start our story over again
