Lyrics Mew – Beach

I was on my way, I swear
But I took a wrong turn, there
For I zigged when I should have zagged
It’s a sombre turn-out tonight

In chemistry class
Tragedy in our park
Something happened in the dark
We bought raincoats and pretty charms

And I did remember this time
To keep it inside
Now we keep the water still
On the broken window sill
For if not, we’d have to move

It is sweet outside
Where it seems magical
And if nothing works
We’ll do nothing
I hope we’re on time

And we shouldn’t look at the sky
The perilous light
We were not allowed outside
And no one could tell us why

I got worried
With shaky hands
So we said the words that we kept
For worrying times

I was on my way, I swear
But I lost my way somewhere
And the trees were listening

From the sill is trickling water when the rain returns

It is sweet outside
Where it seems magical
And if nothing works
We’ll do nothing
Save yourself tonight
Asleep in the dark
I hope we’re on time
