Beach (Album Version) - Mew

Written by：Silas Utke Graae Jørgensen/Bo Madsen/Jonas Bjerre

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 somber turn out tonight

Chemistry class

Try to do our part

Something happened in the dark

We bought raincoats and pretty charms

And they did remember this time

To keep it inside

Now we keep the water still

On the broken window sill

For if not we have to move

It is green 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 glistening

From the silver trickling water

When the rain returns

We had our suspicions

Thinking what my heart confirmed

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
