Lyrics:
Now I'm in your basement
I'm laying low to keep out of your way
I hear your footsteps
Move the floorboards above my head
I have my own routine now
I'm keeping busy in my own way
I'm learning ways to not feel
Like I'm down here forever
I hear your footsteps
Move the floorboards above my head
I hope you know that I'm down here
Just for you
I sang a song to you through the floor
To reach you upstairs
I thought I heard you call out for more
I know that's crazy
I'm pretty sure that I'm lost again
It won't get through to you
I won't get through
I think I won't get through
I'm gonna close my mouth now
You don't need more noise in your life
I miss you more than you know
But I know time makes you move on
I hear your footsteps
Move the floorboards above my head
I hope you know that I'm down here
Just for you
I sang a song to you through the floor
To reach you upstairs
I thought I heard you call out for more
I know that's crazy
I'm pretty sure that I'm lost again
It won't get through to you
I won't get through
I think I won't get through
The lights are off
And I'm lost again
[x6]
The Lights are off

I feel like their so underrated..... I listened to them when I was in high school and I’m 33 years old now and still listening ... their music never gets old.

[@PurpleGrapefruit80]

Soulful music!

[@farmerx165]

i feel the same and i am 38

[@AnemicPenguin]

Same, just turned 33 on the 17th. Love my Jersey bands, and they are underrated. They literally have three perfect albums in succession.

[@Elemeyoh]

33 now as well. I always come back. I wish they had more music. I'm hoping to make one of these tour dates coming up.

[@trentdevlaminck9927]

I worked a sanitation job where the sink was up against a wall opposite of the breakroom. The girl I had a crush on, I knew she could hear me singing this. She approached me later to say"I love it when you sing, but it makes me sad when you sing that song."

One of the best songs on this album of absolute units and that's saying something. that beat is insane.

[@samuelmcalpin8761]

This is a timeless album. The emo era was something special.

[@omarhernandez6518]

My sister introduced me to this Band back in 2005 when I was in middle school,I fell in love with their music ever since, and still come here after a while to listen to this masterpiece. Ahhh great times.

[@rochellelee7461]

My favorite song from them. Someone I dated died a while back. And I listened to this song so much back them. Crazy now... it has a whole new connotation to me. It's almost horrible. Bittersweet.

[@MrWillyWonka]

This is arguably one of the greatest and most underrated rock songs ever made.

[@marleycompton5244]

They just jam sooo hard 🥺

[@TheDARKAG3NTyt]

Normally when a good song ends the feeling is over but with this song blends into a just as good song . Great transition 👌

Keep thinking of him and still talk to him. He's in a place where he needs to hear whatever you have to say.

I know this comment is a year old,but had to comment. You never truly get over loss,you just kinda grow around it with time. Some days are ok,other days it’s unbearable. Be kind to yourself please. And I’m sorry for your loss.

To this day, I have not found a better song that makes use of guitar delay in this way.

[@Glaedrein]

I never connected this song with my life until now. I lost my bestfriend/ex many years ago. Rediscovered this song a bit back (thank you spotify). She's gone onto bigger and better things. This song subconsciously helped me through my loss. Underrated band.

This might be dumb, but this song, along with Very Invisible, literally saved my life at 17. This, along with The Used, are 2 of the 3 biggest life-saving bands of my entire life. I wish they made music for Elder emos. It really wasnt a phase, so can we get more music like this?

Been tempted. Some people just hurt ya, and hurt ya badly. But the song kinda helped me process that and I realized I was worth more than that. I hope a lot of others did, too.
