The heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw
Put your hand on this stone, it's the stone of a home you know
They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go
With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon
They say we can throw far, but they don't know how far we throw
With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon
The heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw
They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go
It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we heard it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Tear a moment from the days that carry us on forever
This push and pull is the force of a wave of time
In the heat of the night, we would cry, you are not mine
They said we would go far, but they don't know how far we'd go
'Cause this heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw
It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we saw it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Ride pyramids at night, they carry us on forever
It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we felt it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Love's like a pantheon, it carries on forever -

the heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw
put your hand on this stone it's the stone of a home you'll know
they say we will go far but they don't know how far we'll go
with our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon
they say we can throw far but they don't know how far we throw
with our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon
the heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw
they say we will go far but they don't know how far we'll go
it can't be gone
we're still right here
it took so long
can't say we heard it all
limbs parallel
we stood so long we fell
tear a moment from the days
that carry us on forever
this push and pull is the force of a wave of time
in the heat of a night, we would cry, you are not mine
they said we would go far but they didn't know how far we'd go
cause this heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw
it can't be gone
we're still right here
it took so long
can't say we saw it all
limbs parallel
we stood so long we fell
bright pyramids at night
that carry us on forever
it can't be gone
we're still right here
it took so long
can't say we felt it all
limbs parallel
we stood so long we fell
love's like a pantheon
it carries on forever
the only variations from the top are "bright pyramids" was missed, and the book has "didn't" instead of "don't" although admittedly it sounds like she sings "don't" while didn't fits with the tense.
The heart is a stone and it is a stone that we throw,
(The heart has become hardened as it has been hurt very much perhaps by life or by being in abusive relationships, and it has been thrown at someone who seemed very far away)
They saw we can throw far but they don't know how far we throw
With our legs on the edge
(This relationship has seemed to never be able to exist, and it is on the edge of becoming what could never be.)
And our feet on the horizon
(Hoping and knowing that it can be more.)
It took so long, can't say we heard it all
(It seemed to take long for the relationship to finally be, and in a sense not hearing what would happen from each other, or other people, maybe a current boyfriend or husband? that is no longer in the picture)
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell.
(They were close, yet far. And knew each other for what seemed a long time that they couldn't be together. And as time went on they fell in love)
It can't be gone, we're still right here
(The relationship, may not be how they imagined or dreamed when they weren't together- but their desires have lasted so many years- that they know they love each other and stay together.)
I took so long, can't say we felt it all
(It took long to be together, and they may not have allowed their full feelings for each other to show because they weren't supposed to love each other)
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell.
Love's like a pantheon it carries on forever.
(Their love is not how they imagined or dreamed it would be when they weren't together- but they know they are in love and will always be.)
It can't be gone we're still right here
(The relationship finally exists, and it isn't exactly how they imagined it to be.
Second, I'm too afraid of this song atm to put int in words. But indeed I'm NOT AFRAID of my strong feelings for that person, which remain somehow intact. I believe I'm afraid of this song atm because there's some sense of destruction and suffering which comes with it which is terrifying. I can only think of the frightening tale of the Pied Piper of Hamelin...
I feel cold and empty. Love shouldn't bring death or destruction to our lives. I feel really bad today, exhausted and full of guilt and sorrow tbh.
The mood of what I feel today is more that of the songs 'Out of Time' by Blur or 'Wish I Was Here' by Cat Power and Chris Martin.
I also want to say sorry if my vanity on commenting this song offended anyone or you. I really feel somehow like a bitch.
I imagine a couple sitting on an edge of a cliff with their feet at the horizon
They are happy and in love and they think their love will go far, they throw stones as if it were their hearts to see how far they can go.
But their relationship ended unexpectedly. It is gone and she can't believe it because she still remembers and feels like that moment on the cliff's edge
(It can't be gone, we're still right here)
I've got the feeling they were together long (we stood so long we fell) but still haven't had heard it all/ seen it all / felt it all they thought they would because they had hope their relationship to be so much more.
(it took so long
can't say we heard it all)
(it took so long
can't say we heard it all)
(it took so long
can't say we felt it all)
They thought their happy moments would make their relationship last forever
(tear a moment from the days
that carry us on forever /
(bright pyramids at night
that carry us on forever)
But time changes things...
(this push and pull is the force of a wave of time
in the heat of a night, we would cry, you are not mine)
And I think that, even though their relationship ended, they are still in love with each other because, sadly, that can't change....
(Love's like a pantheon
It carries on forever)
However, I'm pretty sure it's not "this is a stone BED we throw" but "this is a stone THAT we throw."
I think some of the (?) can be partly filled in with "...is the force of a wave of time..." "...in the heat of the night we will..." "bright pyramids at night, they carry us on forever..." Those are the bits of lyrics I think I can make out. Like I said, it's sort of hard to tell sometimes with Beach House.
The heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw
Put your hand on the stone
It's the stone of a home you know
They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go
With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon
They say we can throw far but they don't know how far we throw
With our legs on the edge, and our feet on the horizon
The heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw
They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go
It can't be gone, it's still right here
It took so long, can't say we heard it all
Wings parallel, we stood so long we fell
'Till warm and calmer days (?)
They'll carry us on forever
This blue shade moon is the force of a wave of time (tide?)
In the heat of the night we would cry you are not mine
They say we go far but they don't know how far we go
'cause this heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw
It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we saw it all
Wings parallel, we stood so long we fell
Bright pyramids at night
they carry us on forever
It can't be gone, We're still right here
It took so long, can't say we felt it all
Wings Parallel, we stood so long we fell
Looks like a path beyond
it carries on forever
