Basics

[Verse 1]

(Yeah)

Let's go back to basics

Tilt your head towards the sky

See the spaceships

Long before we were stressing over payslips

Mum's were getting facelifts

We were in and out of phases

Through our childhood, shame to waste it

We used to live adjacent

Party in the basement

Used to chill with me and Frank

But now you live with Jason

What's he saying?

Just send him my regards

I really hope you're not too far

[Chorus]

As long as I've got marshmallow clouds above me

No-one in this world ever understood me

We need the universe to be as it should be

As long as I've got marshmallow clouds above me

No-one in this world ever understood me

You don't have to feel it now, just trust me

[Bridge]

Yeah we're good

Yeah we're good

Yeah we're good

Yeah we're good

Yeah we're good

Yeah we could

Yeah we could

Yeah we could

Yeah we could

Yeah we could

[Verse 2]

So many arguments over nothing

I've stopped counting

We made movements so massive

We moved mountains

She was disco, she was bebop

She was soul

She was new-wave

Make a young man feel old

My etiquette and my big dreams

And my attitude, problem

My loose ends and my mistakes

I thought she could solve them

I was spaced out and I was face down

Out of control

She was red hot

Made my pale skin feel cold

[Verse 3]

Say you feel a little blue sometimes

Finding it hard to get up

For a job that you hate

Got your boss on your case

Can't relate

Swear they've not got a clue sometimes

Giving the best parts away

Losing strength by the day

Just hold up, I'm a junction away

[Chorus]

As long as I've got marshmallow clouds above me

No-one in this world ever understood me

We need the universe to be as it should be

As long as I've got marshmallow clouds above me

No-one in this world ever understood me

You don't have to feel it now, just trust me

[Bridge]

Yeah we're good

Yeah we're good

Yeah we're good

Yeah we're good

Yeah we're good

Yeah we could

Yeah we could

Yeah we could

Yeah we could

Yeah we could
