Beach House Street

from You And I, Animals by Black & White Envelope

/

lyrics

It's only voluntary
Eighteen years then bad luck
Fire, bakery, Long Island baby
You're one if I've seen it
Maybe we
Should meet sometime for boardwalk small-talk
Celebrate the sea
That you were raised on
Yes I've seen the view you sport on me
On Thursday mornings, I'd drive to the park
And kick my feet on the bench
and I'd read 'til you moved in
I can't forget that indigo scent

If only momentary
Seventeen, no lower or older
When it gets cold the ships park
On the harbor
Once we watched them go
I know you told me you don't like cars behind you on drives

That was you in the beach house street
Do you come to the slums when you need retreat?
I don't care much for the eastern tide
But this town has food trucks for miles
Our current decade needs your 1963ish decency, I
must have missed the time

It's only voluntary
Twenty-one washed bad luck to your feet
Long Island baby, you're one if I've seen it
Why don't we
Go somewhere new but we can always come back to the beach
And I can tell you everything

I've seen you lonely there on your little getaway and I watched
And truly, it seems fantasy if I approach you, I'm lost


That was you in the beach house street
Do you come to the slums when you need retreat?
I don't care much for the eastern tide
But this town has food trucks for miles
Our current decade needs your 1963ish decency, I
must have missed the time

So I'll just sit and write to you
And hope you hear the words
Like they vibrate on through the air
'Cause you don't exist
And I'm just a mess
And I only wish to lust for you
