At constant speed.

Listen earnestly please.

A lonely burden rests gently
this is harder than I thought
Your face is distant and paler now
its funny how things work out

But if I keep a constant speed
and watch everything rush past me
its the quickest way to leave it all behind
only it never leaves
I'm beginning to forget, I'm beginning to forget you
I just see an outline
I'm beginning to forget, I'm beginning to forget you
I hope that's alright

I miss your kitchen window view
the effect I had on you
Your voice is lost in static waves
erased by every day


If I keep a constant speed
and let everything rush past me
This bloody mess I can leave behind
only it never leaves

I'm beginning to forget, I'm beginning to forget you
I just see an outline
I;m beginning to forget, I'm beginning to forget you
I hope that's alright

I'm beginning to forget, I'm beginning to forget you
I just see an outline
I'm beginning to forget, I'm beginning to forget you
I hope that's alright
I just see an outline
I just see an outline of you
Just see an outline
Just see an outline of you

So beautiful.

it's one of those songs that creep up to you in that fuzzy way! i like this part when amidst the brutal reality check, there's this:
"Dont forget the nights
When it all felt right"

but i do. when it gets rough, unfortunately.
this song mean alot to you?

reviewed indie songs and all, it's pretty cool stuff.

you are amazing, in the way you describe songs. and how you put your own perspective into them.

i'm not really much of a song kind of listener, i prefer to listen to the entire album at one go. the song means something to me, but Beach House has an important role to play in my life.
