《Basket Case》的詞曲作者Sara Bareilles，歌曲的歌詞如下：
Verse 1:
Pick up the pieces and start again
Everybody's looking for a new plan
We're all gonna make it out of this place
But you and I know that it's gonna take a lot
Chorus:
So let's just break it all down, put it all back together
You've been breaking all your promises before
Just try and do what I can to believe it all again
Yeah, so here's to a basket case, this endless drama
Verse 2:
Sticks and stones and broken glass
Tearing at your heart, tearing at your dreams
But you know that we're not gonna give up on this
So we're gonna keep on going, keep on pushing
Chorus:
So let's just break it all down, put it all back together
You've been breaking all your promises before
Just try and do what I can to believe it all again
Yeah, so here's to a basket case, this endless drama
Bridge:
It's gonna take a lot of time, it's gonna take a lot of energy
But we're gonna get through all this mess, we just need to hold on tighter
Because I believe in a future, we'll both get our acts together
So we'll be okay
Chorus:
Yeah, here's to a basket case, keep the light on through the rainy days
Here's to a basket case, keep the faith in what we know is true
Yeah, here's to a basket case, we're not alone in this game of ours
Yeah, here's to a basket case, we'll make it through
Outro:
So let's just break it all down, and put it back together, yeah
Let's just keep moving forward with our heads held high.
