Beach Fossils - Shallow Lyrics






I want to awake
I am too away

And when you say I go away and I can't stay
I know I'm done, I'm done
And when you say you'll stay awake and we're away
I know it's done, so done

I won't sit here
I won't be here
I won't take it
I won't break it
In two

Awake
I'm too
Away

I won't sit here
I won't stay here
I won't sit here
In two

    I want too, away
    I am too away

    And when I say I go away
    And I can't stay
    I know I'm done, I'm done
    And when you say stay awake and roll way
    I know it's done, so done

    I won't sit here
    I won't be here
    I won't take it
    I won't break it
    I won't sit here
    I won't be here
    I won't take it
    I won't break it

    Too away
    I’m too away

    I won't sit here
    I won't sit here
    I won't sit here, too

  18. K.... B....

    That happened to me in the cruise. (Another nostalgic history of the memories of Europe)

    We were in this night passing through the seas of the Mediterranean passing close to the coasts of Africa. I was with her, a dark night as the conscience of a criminal, with a wind that wanted us away. I lay down to see the stars that gave me some hope to see us again, you lay down on my chest and listened to my heartbeat, a love that I will not forget. We saw the two stars, reflecting our souls. Knowing that one day we would see each other again. our two souls will meet and they will laugh again, to love as in the times that the night sheltered us and made us feel safe.

    I listen to this song hoping that life would give me a prize.
    I am usually a lonely person and single and always third Wheeling and shit. TBH I have a lot rough times
    I actually almost got beat up one time on my way home by a student in HighSchool
    I was bullied in middle school a lot
    Middle school was horrible for me I have a lot of family problems and well it’s shit.
    Anyways one time after school....well this was when a boy at school made fun of me and I was holding back my tears because I was trying to be strong..but then I was listening to pandora and then this song pops up and I honestly broke down crying and I got up and ran home...then i went to Burger King and got myself a Happy meal.
    The cashier asked me " Arent u a little too old for this?" He was junior from the highschool I now go to
    And then cuz I was just sad, mad and hungry I was in a hurry and just said
    "NO SHIT"
    And left

    Sooo this song was like a message to me
    The song is the only thing that supports me during rough times.
    😏🙄
    Life can be a bitch

  38. M.... M....

    Fucking nostalgic

  39. r.... ....

    I would listen to Beach Fossils,& Wild Nothing all through my senior year of high school, just jamming with a smile on my face walking to class to class, now when I listen to these songs it really takes me back to the simple times, in and out of school. Very nostalgic.

    r.... ....

    oh crap, thats what i'm doing now

    r.... ....

    Ed36 same

  40. G.... ....

    I heard about 3 different versions of this tune and this one is by far the best. The bass line is so overpowering.

    G.... ....

    Which are the other two?

    G.... ....

    +Brian Barajas this one, the album one and a early demo version

    G.... ....

    Do you happen to know where i can find the early demo version?

    G.... ....

    You can find the complete demo tape on Spotify

  41. s.... ....

    travel and shut the fuck up

  42. T.... ....

    Smooth!!!

  43. I.... V....

    Alright everybody I'm gonna tell you guys a story of the first time I heard this song.. so after a very successful, beautiful, and enlightening lsd trip I was at home coming down and anyone who has experienced lsd on a spiritual level knows that beautiful satisfying feeling of the come down . well yeah I was in bed waiting to sleep and it's morning.. I'm thinking huh I kinda wanna see the sunrise I've never seen one before then I thought nah it's probably about to come up then I look up the time and it's only 15 minutes away and I live in a cramped town so I had no good places nearby to go to watch it come over the horizon but I thought fuck it put on my winter coat and fucking RAN I ran and I ran and I ran listening to pandora chasing the sunrise I ran at least 3 miles until I finally arrived to the most perfect spot ever it was out in the country and it was just perfect I got there RIGHT ON TIME the sun was literally rising as I got there and this song came on and omg I burst into tears and started to pray I had never prayed before but wow it was such a beautiful and profound moment one of the best moments of my life by far.. I wish words could explain my exact experience but it was just phenomenal guys .. peace love and dmt guys thanks for reading :) <3

    I.... V....

    I know that feeling my friend. Had a similar experience with animal collective. My homie blurted out "did you see the words?" While we were on some L. My buddy had never listened to AC. This was the first time he listens to them,and he told me the song made him see words haha. That's why he blurted it out hahaha. It was so fucking weird, but amazing.

    I.... V....

    That's so beautiful I cried. i cri now. For real though, I've had experiences like that too. I think life is all about vibrations. If you're in the right vibration you can have anything and everything come to you. Feeling good, having positive thoughts, having gratitude. You can have moments like this in your life over and over again with positive synchronicity. I honestly think it's the way the world works. Society tries to push you down but you rise above. Thank you for sharing your experience! More youtube comments like this pleaaaase!!!

    I.... V....

    Awsome!

    I.... V....

    This has been by far the best comment I've ever read so far

    I.... V....

    This resonates with me on a spiritual and emotional level. I'm tearing up now. Thank you for sharing.

    Love and light.

  44. J.... W....

    i am playing it again for the 5th time in a row, thats when you know you like a song alot, now i need to download it for myself to have.

  45. J.... W....

    i found out about this band from using the SHAZAM App at a bar, its such a perfect song, perfect song length, where its not too long, but short enough where it teases you where you need to press re-play right when it ends, so you can hear it again.

    to me its better to have a perfect song in a shorter time length (like 3-4 mins) rather than too long at (5 - 8 mins), cause better to just savor it compacted into a shorter length so you don't wear the song out as much, so its more appreciated each time you do play and hear it. it does remind me of the cool ethereal indie/alt bands from the 90's such as Slowdive, Kitchens of Distinction or RIDE and others in that genre, but refreshing to know that a newer band has that kind of good taste to make new stuff.

  46. a.... r....

    So many feelings behind this song...

  47. j.... ....

    so happy i found this band! they are amazing!!!

  48. A.... N....

    indie magazine.

  49. B.... M....

    Is this a demo version? I think the album version sounds better with the more distorted guitars. Pretty epic either way though.

    B.... M....

    +Sandals I think it's the single version, released a little while before Clash the Truth came out.

  50. A.... C....

    remind me of slowdive

    A.... C....

    slowdive is amazing

    A.... C....

    I thought that too

  51. E.... G....

    I'm awake now, love them 💋

  52. A.... V....

    Can't stop listening to this beauty, just wow!!!

    A.... V....

    +Ana Vega Reyes It has a cool special beat to it. I always put this song when I'm going to the beach like Pismo, Santa Cruz or Santa Monica. Makes is so magical!

  53. L.... B....

    Sound a bit like DIIV if you guys enjoy this style :D

    D.... d....

    Why do you say that? 

    D.... d....

    @Trynottoblink Mostly from the lyrics and his voice, I mean at that point when he's singing "I won't break here ", well that's quite a strong line. 

    D.... d....

    I. Love. This ...... Chicken Ring

  65. K.... B....

    lol, there is no assumption in my comment
    you were talking about "hipster" in your comment, you dont find that even slightly ironic
    saying that because its 2013, people shouldnt be talking about "hipster," means you are interested on being up to date with trends, so you are demonstrating the same values as a hipster
    besides, the word has already become cliche, you dont need to tell people to get over it and from the tone of your comment i think you are the one that seriously needs to get over it

  66. R.... A....

    you better start arguing otherwise your comment has the same validity as your assumption, which is nothing.

  67. E.... A....

    How did they get this perfect guitar tone?

  68. K.... B....

    i hope you are trying to be ironic, or that is a very sad comment

  69. P.... S....

    Thanks! I was wondering what it was because I've had a couple people call me a hipster not knowing what it meant.. but thanks!

  70. R.... ....

    Hipster, as in the term that is throw around everywhere is meant as some kind of insult with is pretty dumb, as most of the ppl that 'throw' it don't really know what it means with make them seem pretty lame. Hipster is actually not something degrading, i guess it can be a term associated generally with young ppl with alternative tastes and expressiveness, mostly connected to music. So pretty much nothing wrong with that.

  71. L.... A....

    i fell in love, at first sight, with this guy the other day. This is what he told me to listen to. I think love at first sight is real guys! I'm in love with this song. Got it on REPEAT

  72. P.... S....

    what is a hipster? I keep hearing the term thrown around everywhere

  73. R.... A....

    why the fuck are people still talking about "hipster" in 2013? seriously, just get over it

    R.... A....

    Renato Araújo its 2018 now and people still say it

    R.... A....

    @Duckyyy AJ It's 2019, that word is dead.

  74. C.... O....
