One Thing Lyrics
One thing yeah about you
You always, yeah you always know what's happening
Perfect in the morning
And you ruin it in the evening
Remarkable
When a likeness comes
You're lucky just to meet
Come down the hill
And up the stairs
She never really sleeps
Closer now
In the mirror
Your reflection, my reflection
Growing nearer
Pressure, oh the pressure
In confession
Hallelujah
Remarkable
When a likeness comes
You're always out of reach
The faces in the secondhand
A little fuck off kiss
Remarkable
That you're lucky just to meet
Come down the hill cuz she never really sleeps
You always, yeah you always know what's happening
Perfect in the morning
And you ruin it in the evening
When a likeness comes
You're lucky just to meet
Come down the hill
And up the stairs
She never really sleeps
In the mirror
Your reflection, my reflection
Growing nearer
Pressure, oh the pressure
In confession
When a likeness comes
You're always out of reach
The faces in the secondhand
A little fuck off kiss
That you're lucky just to meet

The two people were lucky just to meet each other, however, perpetual bad timing prevents the them from being together long enough to establish a relationship before they have to part. They keep their distance, emotionally and physically for fear of getting hurt. Though, the distance only increases their longing for each other, and adds more pressure to confess their feelings.
'Cause she never really sleeps' She doesn't give up hope and hasn't forgotten how special it was to meet someone with a remarkable likeness, she believes that things will work out in the end, but waits for him to "come down the hill."
It's something that only happens once or twice in a lifetime. When I think of this song, I always think about the song Real Love - and love that couldn't be realized because of distance, fear of rejection and bad timing.

Ahhh, the perfection of this song ...
This song is about two people in love, with potential to be in a healthy relationship, but one has an addiction issue. Adderall, coke, meth, totally alcohol…something like that. I relate to this song because I have messed up all relationships with not sleeping and being on scripts that kept me from sleeping regularly. I was in this whole dumb, bk scene and it lingered with me for years after I moved back to jersey. I had many really deep and serious relationships, but I can understand what is being said there in this song because I have been exactly what she sings about, and as it is pretty sad and ruined most of all of my relationships because of that. It is saying that all was love, but the person continued choosing destruction and craziness, over healthy choices for a relationship, and it suffered. Some people are very fucked up and wired that way. However, that is not what we hope we are supposed to endure in life. It’s beautiful and elegant, yet nostalgic and relatable in how it’s melodically put. I love Beach house so much.
