Basket Case Lyrics

One, two, three, four

I don't want to talk about it to you
I'm not an open book that you can rifle through
The cold hard truth that you'll see right to
I'm just a basket case without you

He's not a magic man or a perfect fit
But had a steady hand and I got used to it
And a glass cage heart and invited me in
And now I'm just a basket case without him

You're beggin' for the truth
So I'm sayin' it to you
I've been savin' your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case

I don't say much and it'll stay that way
You got a steel train touch and I'm just a track you lay
So I'll stay right here underneath you
I'm just a basket case and that's what we do

You're beggin' for the truth
So I'm sayin' it to you
I've been savin' your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case

Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams?
Oh, send your armies in of robbers and thieves
To steal the state I'm in, I don't want it anymore

You're beggin' for the truth
So I'm sayin' it to you
I've been savin' your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case

What is the Meaning of Basket Case?

Ah, the melodious sounds of emotional baggage! Sara Bareilles isn't just singing a tune; she's unpacking her heartbreak suitcase with "Basket Case." This song twirls around the dance floor of dependency and loss, where Sara confesses to being somewhat of a mess without her significant other. It’s like watching someone try to juggle emotions - they keep dropping them but can’t stop picking them back up. The catchy chorus isn’t just a cry for help; it’s an admission ticket to the 'struggling-to-move-on' club. So, if you've ever been clingy or couldn't let go of that special someone (even when they're as comforting as an itchy sweater), this track will hit home harder than realizing you’re out of ice cream at 1 AM.
