Catfish And The Bottlemen - Basically Lyrics

I’m in love 💜

this is my favorite song from theme! even though its not one of the most popular ones on Apple Music hahah they don't know anything

textTBOOK I TRIED TO CLEAN THE HOUSE BEFORE YOU WOKE UP

BASICALLY.... THIS MUSIC IS AMAIZING

Blink 182 has always been my favorite band since 99. But these guys stole that position in 1 weekend!!!

I wish they played this song live at citadel :/

The bridge sounds like the bridge from Whatever by Oasis with the tone the guitar makes which is the same as what the strings did on Whatever

I like that

Textbook ❤❤

Textbook, I tried to clean the house before you woke up
I left recordin', finishin' the same hook
I was singing when we come in from dinner

And there's a tune on that's slightly reminiscent of an old song
That my father used to play when he was on one
He said I'm just like him, and basically

I do this all the time
'Cause lately we seem have it right
Yeah, when I've finally found the place
I said I'd get you 'round
Talk through all the things you thought that I'd forget about
Nothing's really changed between then and now
Trying to play this off like it's not all think about

Textbook, I tried to count my blessings in the lift up
I'd leave but Steve was giving me the same look 
that he gives me when I've turned up for stage late
And I've been working my ticket but I know that I'll be all night
I think we best just get the balance right

'Cause basically, I do this all the time
And lately we seem have it right
Yeah and I've finally found the place
I said I'd get you 'round
Talk through all the things you thought that I'd forget about
Nothing's really changed between then and now
Trying to play this off like it's not all think about

And without a doubt, when I'm puttin' out
Those ideas, I'll be coming straight back here

Yeah and I've finally found the place
I said I'd get you 'round
Talk through all the things you thought that I'd forget about
And nothing's really changed between then and now
Trying to play this off like it's not all think about
'Cause basically, I do this all the time
And maybe we seem have it right
Basically, I do this all the time
'Cause lately we seem have it right
And basically I do this all the time

That solo at 2:04 it's so awesome, I LOVE it.

i wonder where they got the intro from. sounds like native american men at a powwow drums chanting hmm

Best song on the new album 😍

the beginning of this song before van starts is so good, the song itself is amazing, but the start of the song is just too good

For me, the best song on the album, the solos give me chills.
For sure the best álbum of the year, congrats guys!!

TEXTBOOK, I TRIED TO CLEAN THE HOUSE BEFORE YOU WOKE UP
I LEFT RECORDING FINISHING THE SAME HOOK
I WAS SINGING WHEN WE COME IN FROM DINNER
AND THERE’S A TUNE ON
THAT’S SLIGHTLY REMINISCENT OF AN OLD SONG
THAT MY FATHER USED TO PLAY WHEN HE WAS ON ONE
THEY SAY I ACT JUST LIKE HIM

BASICALLY, I DO THIS ALL THE TIME
‘CAUSE LATELY WE SEEM TO HAVE IT RIGHT

AND WHEN I FINALLY FOUND A PLACE
I SAID I’D GET YOU ROUND
TO TALK THROUGH ALL THE THINGS YOU THOUGHT THAT I’D FORGET ABOUT
BUT NOTHING’S REALLY CHANGED
BETWEEN THEN AND NOW
WE’RE TRYING TO PLAY THIS OFF LIKE IT’S NOT ALL WE THINK ABOUT

TEXTBOOK, I TRIED TO COUNT MY BLESSINGS IN THE LIFT UP
I’D LEAVE BUT STEVE IS GIVING ME THE SAME LOOK
THAT HE GIVES ME WHEN I’VE TURNED UP FOR STAGE LATE
AND I’D BE WORKING MY TICKET BUT I KNOW THAT I’LL BE ALL NIGHT
I THINK WE BEST JUST GET THE BALANCE RIGHT

‘CAUSE BASICALLY, I DO THIS ALL THE TIME
AND LATELY WE, SEEM TO HAVE IT RIGHT

AND WHEN I FINALLY FOUND A PLACE
I SAID I’D GET YOU ROUND
TO TALK THROUGH ALL THE THINGS YOU THOUGHT THAT I’D FORGET ABOUT
BUT NOTHING’S REALLY CHANGED
BETWEEN THEN AND NOW
WE’RE TRYING TO PLAY THIS OFF LIKE IT’S NOT ALL WE THINK ABOUT

AND WITHOUT A DOUBT
WHEN I’M RUNNING OUT
OF IDEAS
I’LL BE COMING STRAIGHT BACK HERE

‘CAUSE WHEN I FINALLY FOUND A PLACE
I SAID I’D GET YOU ROUND
TO TALK THROUGH ALL THE THINGS YOU THOUGHT THAT I’D FORGET ABOUT
AND NOTHING’S REALLY CHANGED
BETWEEN THEN AND NOW
WE’RE TRYING TO PLAY THIS OFF LIKE IT’S NOT ALL WE THINK ABOUT

‘CAUSE BASICALLY, I DO THIS ALL THE TIME
AND LATELY WE, WE SEEM TO HAVE IT RIGHT
BASICALLY, I DO THIS ALL THE TIME
‘CAUSE LATELY WE, SEEM TO HAVE IT RIGHT
AND BASICALLY, I DO THIS ALL THE TIME

If you say all the balance songs sound the same ur wrong in the mind broo

why have 9 people disliked it then

Bondy smashed this

im. so. fucking. exited about this tour

I got into catfish from the very beginning when they were on the BBC programme before the balcony came out and this is my favourite catfish song

Basically, a perfect song with a beautiful lyrics.

I love all The Balance lyrics, like, they're getting sooo professional and they have a lot of experience supporting them

come to Argentina 💙 don't forget us, cause we didn't forget you, never!

Your forgot the demon clown laughing in the beginning🤡👺

basically- matt turpin is using this song to express his hidden sexual and lustful desires

My fave song from the new album xx love this so much

Who else a total slut for the guitar solo in this track. Cause I definitely am.

Please, come to brazil

This is , and I can not stress this enough, the best song on this album.

This and encore and mission for sure

Agreed! Guitar work is class and melody is sick!!

This , encore , and coincide best songs

I keep coming back to this and Mission. They hit me straight in the feels.

You've clearly not heard other songs on this album. Each is honestly the best.

HELL UEA

I LOVE IT !!!!!

A lot of people say that every song sounds the same while I'm just here thinking "this one is my favorite" at every song... damn such a good album!! JUST as The Ride and The Balcony, not comparing them. All three of them are great. I love them

xse. Sonically and style wise the albums and songs have changed, it’s more lyrically and song structure that is repetitive. Regardless I’m still in love with the band

People are saying that every song sounds the same? They just dont.. this year they’ve up there game for sure!

For real tho. I can't wait to go hear these live!

3 identical albums and the bottlemen

personally I prefer their other albums but only because I have memories attached to them, this album is still amazing!

@Reyes v2 you upload fortnite ya absolute yute

@Dylan Painter salty

New favorite song :D

😍🎶

🐱🐟 & the 🍾👨 4ever 🤘

Fernando reyes you just assumed that guys gender

@Cory Price sorry i didnt catch quit that.

Lol. Very creative 😁

bondy owned this track

Cirillo Poersch Bondy, is owning this Album; unlike, the Ride

I like the songs when I hear them from this album but all the tracks are forgettable except the singles and sidetrack. I miss the cruchier vocals from the balcony and somewhat on the ride. I feel like they've produced a very safe album without much risks taken and more importantly without half as many memorable earworms from the past two albums (longshot & 2all are bangers tho and fluctuate is pure made for arenas)

Nothing but arguing but nothing change the fact that the album sucks. And I'm a huge fan of CATB

@Adrian Sant That's completely subjective. The good thing is, though, that you can just NOT LISTEN to the album. Such a simple fix. Go listen to The Balcony and cry about the fact that CATB have changed and are not going back to that sound. It's reality, it's music, and you whining about it doesn't make a difference at all. Again, L A M E!

@Sam Maertens For me is just that maybe they had a bunch of these songs and wanted to release them. That's it. I dont get the feeling that they pre-selected the songs. Looks like they took a couple of those 200 songs that Van already has wroten and recorded them. I bet you they will release a new album faster than the last time. And I'm not being rude. Im just saying I dont understand how they selected those songs to record. Van knows how a good song sounds. It impress me. And I prefer the ride

@Adrian Sant Because they liked those songs????? That's a silly question to have. You enjoyed The Ride, but don't like this? That leaves me even more dumbfounded. Oh whale, the times they are a changin'.

I bet you do.

What a fucking tune
