Basement Apartment Lyrics - Singles - Sarah Harmer

You live out where the street ends 

In a basement apt. With one of your friends 

And the tap drips all night 

Water torture in the sink 

The furnace is burning 

But it's still cold i think 

I can smell the bleach 

That they use in the hall 

But it can't clean the dirt off of me 

It's seeping under the door 

In across the floor 

It's starting to hurt 

Everytime I breathe 

Everytime I try to leave 

Everytime I breathe 

Now the toaster sticks 

And the empties are piled 

I haven't been up the stairs in awhile now 

I gotta wash the sheets on my bed 

Gotta watch the things that go unsaid 

God I wish we'd leave it at this 

And every evening you open the door 

You come down 

There's nothing like watching tv all night underground 

And no one is watching me slide 

Below street level 

Barely alive 

Now we live out where the street ends 

In a basement apt. Just like our friends 

We always said that we were different 

But you know now that we weren't 

'Cause there's holes in all the bottles 

And my lungs hurt
