lyrics

Started off in the depths of a basement
Couple of guitars, oh we'd play them
I'd write a line or two about Carolyn
Hope that she would hear them but in fear that she would hate them

Oh they were never really good
And this I know for sure
Oh they were never really good
And this I know

Went a year without leaving the basement
Thought she would come to me, I kept waiting
I left a hundred songs in that basement
By believing she was in her room with them playing

Oh they were never really good
And this I know for sure
Oh they were never really good
And this I know for sure


Started off in the depths of a basement
Felt like we'd go far, like we'd make it
A couple years and I'm still in a basement
And I can almost hear the sounds of us wasting

Oh they were never really good
And this I know for sure
Oh they were never really good
And this I know for sure
