Where I go down into the basement after school
I'll find a place where I can lay my thoughts and head to rest
A place where I can be alone and not get too upset after a while
I'll sit alone in solitude, recount the names and platitudes of people I've been trying to forget
I'll go to the basement

We'll sit around the empty table
On my backyard patio
Pass around the empty bottle
That all our mouths have taken out

I want to thank you for everything
Thanks for your support, I couldn't get by without it anymore
Half of what is left of me, wouldn't doubt it like before
Before our old age when I hated the way you'd shout me out the door
Far and away, my favorite way to get kicked off of your porch
We'll go to the basement

I'll follow you into the basement
And down a case of wooden stairs
We'll make it last until the morning
When all our friends will sit and stare

I'll lead you down into the basement
Its carry-in and carry-out
You're looking at me for a warning
But you should know I'm already down

We'll go to the basement
Thanks for your support, I couldn't get by without it anymore
Half of what is left of me, wouldn't doubt it like before
Before our old age when I hated the way you'd shout me out the door
Far and away, my favorite way to get kicked off of your porch

Thanks for your support, I couldn't get by without it anymore
Half of what is left of me, wouldn't doubt it like before
Before our old age when I hated the way you'd shout me out the door
Far and away, my favorite way to get kicked off of your porch
