Walk in the Park
Beach House攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your hand that you sometimes hold doesn't do anything
The face that you see in the door isn't standing there anymore
In a matter of time, it would slip from my mind
In and out of my life, you would slip from my mind
In a matter of time
The name that you call in its place isn't waiting for your embrace
The world that you love to behold cannot hold you anymore
In a matter of time it, would slip from my mind
In and out of my life, you would slip from my mind
In a matter of time
More, you want more
More, you want more
More, you want more, you tell me
More, only time can run me
More, you want more, you tell me
More, only time can run me
More, you want more you tell me
More, only time can run me
More, you want more, you tell me
More, only time can run me
More, you want more, you tell me
More, only time can run me
More, you want more, you tell me
"Walk in the Park" by Beach House is a beautiful, dreamy song that seems to be about the fleeting nature of love and relationships. The opening lines of the song set a peaceful scene of someone taking a walk in the park, free of any wants or desires. The person they sometimes hold hands with doesn't seem to affect them much, as they "don't do anything." The face they once saw in the door, the one that stood there waiting for an embrace, is now gone. In a matter of time, it would slip from their mind.
The chorus repeats the idea that the person wants more, but only time can run them. It seems like the song is about the realization that love and relationships can be fleeting and temporary. The world they once loved to behold cannot hold them anymore, and the person they once loved is slipping from their mind. The name they used to call in its place isn't waiting for their embrace anymore.
The song creates a sense of longing and a desire for something more permanent, but also acknowledges the transience of life and love. The music is haunting and ethereal, perfectly capturing the melancholy and bittersweet feeling of the lyrics.

Miles upon miles of sand and wine rows, 17th century windmills and Great Gatsby mansions, visionary art and picture-perfect towns; Long Island is more than just a destination, it’s home to some of the greatest chapters in U.S. history.
Special thanks to Discover Long Island for their support on this video!
Their keen eyed team (Jamie in particular) did point out a minor factual error at 05.35 "head further west to discover...". We got that one wrong and it's meant to read "head further east to discover...".
We are always trying to keep our team on our toes and we thank anyone who helps us get the facts straight.

I grew up on Long Island and I currently live in Cape Cod. There are so many similarities. The beaches along the Atlantic Coastline , the salt marshes ,the flora and fauna are very similar in both Long Island and Cape Cod. Long Island has more commercial development. I appreciate the education I received in the Three Village School District. I appreciate the safe neighborhoods and the quiet and peaceful times with nature.

@Little Poots Vee Blogs Old Bethpage Village Restoration in Nassau County. 1840/5oish village. House and buildings relocated from various parts of LI to preserve them. Docents explain about each house and its then owners, There are crafts demo. There is a working farm and a blacksmith. Often weekends have special events, They do a big July 4th celebration. No fireworks, but the reenactors pretend is it is 1860 or so and there is a parade and speeches. There is music, a period brass band and period group dancing.. It is a family event. There is also Sagamore Hill which was the summer home of Teddy Roosevelt. There is the Cradle of Aviation Museum. It has one of the Lunar Landers because Grumman Aviation was here on LI. There are great public ocean beaches along the south shore., Like world famous Jones Beach.
