LYRICS
Watching light through water
I want to bend the way it bends
You slice like a knife through the surface
But what a thrill to see it mend
With no scar, no memory
I’m envious
Why pretend I’m not
Wading in up to the ankles
The cold speaks straight to my bones
Whole body and soul hesitation
I am a coward turned to stone
Stay there for centuries
So all of history knows about it
But hey hey
We made it to the longest day
And the sun, the wind the earth
Are wearing me away
The shame!
I wish that I was brave enough to dive in
But I never have been and never will be
I’m coming in hot then freezing completely
The shame!
I wish that I could say what I’ve been thinking
But I never have done and never will do
Still only knees deep
I’ll never be brave like you
Lighten up like a candle
I’m as likely to go out
You can sigh from the bottom of your lungs
Until the house gets blown down
One step, then two, then three
‘Til I’ve forgotten how to count them
But hey hey
We made it to the longest day
And the river’s ready current
Can carry me away
The shame!
I wish that I was brave enough to dive in
But I never have been and never will be
I’m coming in hot then freezing completely
The shame!
I wish that I could say what I’ve been thinking
But I never have done and never will do
Still only knees deep
I’ll never be brave like you
SO one of us has to bungy jump for the next promo…Not it. not it. not it. Ben?
期待新专❤️

Wow I'll never be brave like you.
I'm here for that dirty guitar solo
Just saw you in Durham North Carolina at Motorco. Havent immediately liked a band this much since Unrest in 1994. Magical magical magical. Thank you for sharing your gift and work and smiles and joy with us. Good luck on the rest of your tour. You were all so beautiful. Also as a person who plays in bands, watching y'all troupe through songs with mechanical failures on your pedal boards and broken strings and odd lighting changes. (mwah) perfection. Cheers!
Liz is so cool! I'm glad she did it 🙂
Another flawless song. Always!
hey hey..it' the bungies
Can't wait
This music video is just beautiful. ❤️
man this video clip was so much fun to watch!
Thanks Hauraki for bringing this band to my attention. So refreshing.
Sounds so much like The weakerthans
この曲最高!早く新しいアルバム聴きたい。
大好きです。
just saw them do this at the salt shed in chicago! awesome band
I cannot believe that 3 weeks ago I had never heard of this band, and now these three singles are probably my favorite songs that I've heard this year. This one is the best so far! So incredibly excited for the record!
This slays
This song is just the best!
This is so delightful—haven’t been with you long, but I have a feeling I’ll be sticking around a while💜
Liz Stokes. Musical genius. Every little thing she does is total and absolute magic.
Pure Pop. The stink eye from Liz at 2:53 cracks me up.
In the 2000s there were a couple of pop songs produced by Dr Luke (About you now, Since U been gone, Teenage dream etc) that started just like this—straight, dry beat, downstrokes in eights. This song feels like such a brilliant elaboration on that style, and made even more infectious by your evident joy for playing together.
it brings tears to my eyes. i Love it !
a bop
❤❤❤❤❤
Guys, you're killing it with your brilliant songs and charming videos
;love it, the looks on your faces is prue gold
The Office vibes with the straight to camera miffed looks !
ahahaha love it!
These were the kind of music videos I loved as a kid, ones that made being in a band look like the coolest thing in the world.
Yusss every song by The Beths is just so simply poetic, masterfully performed and just gets to me. Love this song, loving this new album!! ❤️ :')
This made me smile. and made me want to be in a band
Y'all are adorable. I'm still never bungee jumping.
The signature Bethsolydian progression creates another magical moment
i love the wholesome message about how the team isnt the same without each part. synergy thats the word i was tryin to remember
Easily my favorite of the pre-album releases. Great tune.
the zoom in on Liz's face in 3:18 is so goddamn cool
i love yall, feel so lucky to discover you from your set in Denver a few weeks back. such an amazing live performance!
I was touched by your beautiful song!!!
great songwriting!!!
Liz's singing has taken a step forward, sounding great!
You guys randomly showed up on my feed one day, and I thought "who the heck is this?" I've had Expert in a Dying Field stuck in my head for WEEKS now; you guys are so good!
