Lyrics

[female

vocals] (

Mmm,

yeah)

Oh,

Basil,

are

you

listening

tonight?

I

trace

the

lines

upon

my

hand

and

think

of

you

The

way

we

fought

for

us,

the

way

we

tried

to

pull

it

through

But

patience

wasn't

on

our

side,

the

clock

ran

out

of

time

I

couldn't

wait

for

your

tomorrow,

now

you're

no

longer

mine

It's

quiet

in

this

house,

I'm

lying

next

to

someone

new

But

in

the

shadows

of

the

night,

I'm

searching

just

for

you

Yeah,

baby,

I'm

searching

for

you

Oh

Basil,

do

you

ever

feel

the

distance

getting

wide?

We

gave

our

hearts

to

strangers,

left

our

secrets

tucked

inside

We

were

a

fire

burning

bright,

but

we

let

it

drift

apart

Now

I'm

living

with

a

ghost

that’

s

still

inside

my

heart

Yeah,

Basil,

you're

the

one

who

got

away

I

wonder

if

you

think

of

me,

in

your

own

quiet

way

I

heard

a

rumor

that

you're

settled,

that

you

wear

a

wedding

band

I

hope

she

knows

the

way

to

touch

you,

hope

she

understands

That

you

were

always

dreaming

bigger,

always

reaching

for

the

sky

I

remember

every

promise,

every

soft

and

whispered

lie

I

see

you

in

the

city

lights,

I

see

you

in

the

rain

My

love

for

you

is

buried

deep,

beneath

this

growing

pain

Come

here,

let

me

remember

Oh

Basil,

do

you

ever

feel

the

distance

getting

wide?

We

gave

our

hearts

to

strangers,

left

our

secrets

tucked

inside

We

were

a

fire

burning

bright,

but

we

let

it

drift

apart

Now

I'm

living

with

a

ghost

that’

s

still

inside

my

heart

Yeah,

Basil,

you're

the

one

who

got

away

I

wonder

if

you

think

of

me,

in

your

own

quiet

way

I

need

you,

I

need

to

know

you're

happy

now

Even

if

I

had

to

break

my

own

sacred

vow

We

took

different

paths,

we

chose

the

safer

road

But

carrying

this

memory

is

such

a

heavy

load (

Mmm,

such

a

heavy

load)

I'll

never

call

your

number,

I'll

never

write

the

note

I'll

keep

these

feelings

silent,

keeping

all

the

words

afloat

We

had

a

love

so

beautiful,

a

love

we

couldn't

keep

Now

it's

just

a

secret

that

I

take

into

my

sleep

Yeah,

baby,

into

my

sleep

Oh

Basil,

do

you

ever

feel

the

distance

getting

wide?

We

gave

our

hearts

to

strangers,

left

our

secrets

tucked

inside

We

were

a

fire

burning

bright,

but

we

let

it

drift

apart

Now

I'm

living

with

a

ghost

that’

s

still

inside

my

heart

Yeah,

Basil,

you're

the

one

who

got

away

I

wonder

if

you

think

of

me,

in

your

own

quiet

way

Basil,

oh

Basil

Are

you

thinking

of

me

too? (

I

need

you)

Just

a

memory

now

Yeah,

mmm.
