LYRICS
I’ve never been the dramatic type
But if I don’t see your face tonight
I… well I guess I’ll be fine
High
Highlighting hard between the lines
But they’re getting closer every time I try
Decipher the signs
Like we’re slowly coming together
Yeah it’s slowly coming out about us
I think I love you
And I think that I loved you the whole time
How could this happen
We were jump rope gazers in the middle of the night
Hide my heart behind a brighter light
So you struggle straining eyes to find
Why we made it this way
Stay
My hopes are prone to elevate
But the way your mind and mine relate
It breaks the patterns we make
And we’re slowly coming together
Yeah it’s slowly coming out
But it’s only for a second
Then it all is crumbling down around us
I think I love you
And I think that I loved you the whole time
How could this happen
We were jump rope gazers in the middle of the night
I think I love you
And I wanna give it my best try
How could this happen
We were jump rope gazers
I remember watching the waves rolling in
Numbered in the thousands
Collect, break up again

The Beth's are one of the few bands where I find one great song and go to listen to the other songs and they are all equally as amazing! Very rare to find a band this good!
You took the words right out of my mouth!
It's kinda dry balls. It's not amazing yet. I'm waiting for their metal album.
@@AghoraNathI think you're listening wrong
Ben Gibbard has described this as the best love song to come out in the last decade.
And he's not wrong
The potential of this band is truly infinite. They prove it with everything they release.
Er
Efectiviwonder
And they are doing it without sex, violence or profanity. I'm no Mother Teresa over here but this band is a breath of fresh air.
A trick: watch movies on Flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Dallas Chandler Definitely, I have been using flixzone for since december myself :)
I simply don't know how you be that vulnerable as a song writer. Incredible song.
I’ll say the obvious: They are a wonderful band.
Jesus... You Beths keep leveling up. By the time the world is working again, we won't get no tickets!
I actually just preordered tickets for next February just in case lol
Joe Scott from answers with joe sent me here and I’m truly glad he did!
Likewise.
Same here.
Search ' the beths' click on the 1st ideo, look for Joe Scott shoutout!!
I had to go through his twitter to find the name. From Joe's video I thought they're called "The Best" but Googling didn't turn up anything haha. Glad I found them, great music!
Me too nice one Joe!
Overheard someone listening to this and I was like fuck me i gotta find this god damn ripper of a song. Praise the good lord for I have found the beths
Met Elizabeth after she and the band opened for death cab for cutie gig in Manchester! She was so nice and down to earth. Signed my ticket and was super friendly. In love with their music.
Can't believe I missed these guys playing in Manchester. Sad times, man. Can't wait for tours to start up properly again
You can tell from their music and vibe that they are all great folks - all the critics in the world will not change that - have not met them but love em already - grace
Beautiful lyrics great band!!
Jump rope geezers is the most romantic song ever.
Is this the best indie rock anthem of all time? I think it might be. Everything about this is perfect. The lyrics are perfect, Liz' voice is perfect, the musical sensibility is perfect, the production is perfect.
I love this song! This is like some Beach Boys level stuff here with the beautiful harmonies. And the chorus - "I think I love you/I think I've loved you the whole time" - is so simple and so true. Might be my favorite song of 2020 so far! No idea what a jump rope gazer is, though.
I had to google what a "jump rope gazer" is. I'll share my findings. It's a phrase she made up that's largely open to interpretation, but her intention was to invoke feelings of being a kid in motion, staring at your partner while you both swing one end of a jump rope. It's such a beautiful meaningless lyric that I hold dear.
So true
soooo love them 🤍☺️
Beach Boys - YES - dont get any better and they are definitely getting there - Brilliant album - new fan - forever fan
@@DanCaporello I think she means it in the sense that a jump roper is someone who actively pursues love and relationships; while a jump rope gazer is content watching others in their serious relationships, but avoiding them themselves.
This whole album just feels so intimate. I am sad that it's yet so underrated.
Yeah, me too -- Joe Scott (Answers with Joe) sent me here, that is, in an amazingly brave and honest UA-cam - just exactly what I needed - thank you
Possibly one of the best Beth songs (of not THE best), or one of the best song in general
Punisher, Honeymoon, and Jump Rope Gazers are easily top 3 albums of the year
FACTS
Is Honeymoon from Beach Bunny? Punisher and Jump Rope Gazers are two of my favourites so I figure I'll use your third top album as a recommendation, but I'm not sure who does the album :P Although I can't find another album from 2020 called that so...
@@CanadianOldChannel Yes it is.
wait this is so real
Great song ❤❤
Just saw you guys at the met in philly and now I'm listening to the same songs at home
The Beth love song ever written 😍
This is the first time I've seen this particular video. There's something very magical about it. I love the vibe.
I've literally been obsessed with this band these past few weeks
This band is magic.
I love you, liz stokes.
This is muti layered metaphorical wisdom. Great to see love being depicted so honestly. Can't wait to see The Beths live!
This album has been such a wonderful birthday present, thank you beths!!
Happy birthday 🎂 😊 🎂
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Sometimes this song comes on unexpectedly when I am listening to music and a big smile just spreads across my face. It is beautiful!
Glorious - saw them at Latitude, this one is even better live.
Greetings from Acapulco, México, RTG Radio brought me here!!
well now im crying
How lucky for us and how amazing that you can consistently turn out music this emotionally real. You all are very amazing.
*_LYRICS_*
[Verse 1]
I've never been the dramatic type
But if I don't see your face tonight
I, I guess I'll be fine
[Verse 2]
High, highlighting hard between the lines
But they're getting closer every time
I try, decipher the signs
[Pre-Chorus]
Like we're slowing comin' together
Yeah, it's slowly comin' out
About us
[Chorus]
Oh, I, I think I love you
And I think that I loved you the whole time
How could this happen?
We were jump rope gazers in the middle of the night
[Verse 3]
Hide my heart behind a brighter light
So you struggle, straining eyes to find
Why we made it this way
[Verse 4]
Stay, my hopes are prone to elevate
The way your mind and mine relate
It breaks the patterns we make
[Pre-Chorus]
Still, we're slowly comin' together
Yeah, it's slowly comin' out
But it's only for a second
Then it is all is crumbling down
Around us
[Chorus]
Oh, I, I think I love you
And I think that I loved you the whole time
How could this happen?
We were jump rope gazers in the middle of the night
I think I love you
And I, I wanna give it my best try
How could this happen?
We were jump rope gazers
[Bridge]
Oh, I remember watching the waves rollin' in
Numbered in the thousands, collect, break up again
I was just waitin' for the grazes on my hands to mend
I was afraid of the sting
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Oh, ooh, I think I love you
And I think that I loved you the whole time
How could this happen?
We were jump rope gazers in the middle of the night
I think I love you
And I, I wanna give it my best try
How could this happen?
We were jump rope gazers
Oh, oh

I've been counting the days until the (entire) album was released. Love it all. It makes everything a bit better in this crazy world, presently. Thank you!
The best song on that album. ❤
That chorus is angelically beautiful, I'm absolutely mesmerized
This is one of the best songs I’ve have ever heard
This is the best band that I got to know in 2020.
Yess they are
Always so proud of my Kiwi family!! This record is the bomb! Chur, The Beths. 💚💚
Absolutely in my all time favorite song list
Wow I love this new song, so excited for midnight to strike here to listen to the full album!!!
such a great tune!! big Petal vibes, really stunning
Definitely will buy, listen and add this album to my growing collection of bliss power pop aLbums. This kind of music should be heard. Long live The Beths!
Had never heard of this band and only discovered them after glancing at what is coming up on KEXP later this week. It said a band called The Beths would be playing so I clicked on this song and video............................Love it!!!!!!!!
Mid-tempo indie pop song happiness!
Always love the cinematic videos.🍍❤🥝🍍
I love your music ❤️ Cheers from Perú!
Found this song maybe a year and a half or two years ago and I still love it!!
I would buy the beths unplugged album
Recently this song has been completely consuming me... i find myself falling hard for someone slowly but surely and this song is a soothing balm telling me im not alone... this is truly a masterpiece i have been listening to this endlessly for /months/ now... i might do a cover of this song now 😂
Joe Scott made a good recomendation! 👍 beths the best!
The Beths are new to me. I am learning the drums and this track is one of the lessons on Melodics and I love to play along to it. I will certainly be checking out more tracks from this band.
All I do is cry to this. And that’s when you know, it’s a part of you.
This band is legitimately brilliant
Another masterpiece. Somewhat reminiscent of The Sundays....but better👍
Not better but I hear the Sundays vibe
Someone mentioned The Sundays on another Beths video, so I put em through the ringer a bit, and it feels to me like the difference between them and The Beths is like the difference between Pet Sounds and a Beatles album: For all I know, The Beach Boys could be technically superior, but I think most people just wanna hear a f*ckin sick tune.
Put a little bit of The Sundays, a little bit of Aimee Mann, and throw in some Throwing Muses and Crowded House to a blender, and out comes The Beths.
Wow incredibly beautiful song, thank you!
I can’t believe I never left a comment in this song before smh. I could have sworn I posted one before… oh well.
The Beths’ songs are still a vibe after all these years.
Phoebe Bridgers sent me here, from an interview on Charli XCX’s podcast. It was so sweet, how she described her love for this song (and now I feel a bit sad about what I think happened - check out ‘Expert in a Dying Field’ as the bookend).
creative and unpretentious! awesome!
bliiiisful song!!! amazing. Love from Ireland
I just bought two ticket for your concert in vienna! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the Beth’s !
I love your band so much. This, again, is ace, just ace.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS EVERRRRR I LOVE THE WHINY CHORUS!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤ I’d bawl my eyes out if I saw this live. ❤️
this was my favorite episode of lost.
Adam Ries Apparently the smoke monster was a clothes iron all along!
@@latexgeneration Not many people will know what you're talking about, but i'm one. Thanks for the laugh :D
oh god, ily the beths ❤️
This song is undeniable proof, The Beths = The Real Deal
I got the new album and I love it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I feel like this song should be in the soundtrack to a film. About 2/3 of the way in, when a couple have just realized that they've fallen in love.
Almost an hour till release and a new single comes out yay!
Damn so good! Congrats
What a really lovely dreamy track. Awesome.
Adore The Beths❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
GUでかかってて一聴き惚れしてすぐ曲名を調べてたどり着きました。
とってもキレイな声と音。ぜひ色んな人に聞いて欲しいと思える1曲。
One of the best songs on the album
Make it 2 Phoenix AZ. !!!!!!
Can't Believe Its Been 4 Years
Did you know your music can save a soul. Thank you.
This band is limitless
I get "The Sundays" but I also get "Camera Obscura". A little brighter but really similar vocals and mixing.
Great tune Guys

Reminds me of the Sundays, NZs finest!!
This is beautiful. Thank You.
