Fawns - Melody in the Night Lyrics

I'm a masochist
I listen to the whole goddamn album
Each song a different day a different year
Same face, same heart beating
But God, that melody is such a burden to bear

I remember every beat
I can smell the summer heat
I remember every beat
And it weighs me down

And always it's there
Playing out in the background
Like a ghost to lean on
Like a beacon in the night
While the beat rolls on through the city and the wires
And the wheels and the gadgets and the faces, pretty faces
I remember all the lines
I sang the words a thousand times
And now there's nothing left to hold onto
But the memory of the melody in the night

Give me another flash
I watch in slow motion as she
Dances through the filtered light
And waves me good bye
Song plays, song ends and then we're back again
God, that melody is such a burden to bear

I remember every beat
I can smell the summer heat
I remember every beat
And it weighs me down

And always it's there
Playing out in the background
Like a ghost to lean on
Like a beacon in the night
While the beat rolls on through the city and the wires
And the wheels and the gadgets and the faces, pretty faces
I remember all the lines
I sang the words a thousand times
And now there's nothing left to hold onto
But the memory of the melody in the night

I can smell the summer
I can smell the summer
I can smell the summer
I can smell the summer
I can smell the summer
I can smell the summer and it weighs me down

And always it's there
Playing out in the background
Like a ghost to lean on
Like a beacon in the night
While the beat rolls on through the city and the wires
And the wheels and the gadgets and the faces, pretty faces
I remember all the lines
I sang the words a thousand times
And now there's nothing left to hold onto
But the memory of the melody in the night
