Our Basement Lyrics - Imagined Savior Is Far Easier To Paint - Ambrose Akinmusire

In the fleeting blush between dusk and after-light 

Your eyes were aglow like two moons. 

Then your smile shot through me 

tranquilizing all the ache. 

And now I'm higher than the streetlights fading on beneath the night sky's bloom. 

I imagine you doing simple things 

like humming one part of a song that you like, 

singing out the words that move you 

down the avenue while i watched you walk past me. 

On a day like this, summer fever is all you think 

No drug can escape this relentless heat. 

A familiar sound passing by cools everything, 

and I hide my face behind the shame of all the sins that keep that sound from me. 

And imagine you doing simple things 

like humming one part of a song that you like, 

singing out the words that move you 

down the avenue while i watched you walk past me, 

down the avenue while i watched you walk past me, 

down the avenue while i watched you walk past me.
