Lyrics
You used to have all the answers
And you, you still have them too
And we, we live half in the daytime
And we, we live half at night

Watch things on vcrs
With me and talk about big love
I think we’re superstars
You say you think we are the best thing
And you, you just know
You just do

I wanna find myself by the sea
In anothers company
By the sea
I wanna walk out to the pier
I’m gonna dive and have no fear
Cos you, you just know
You just do

Watch things on vcrs
With me and talk about big love
I think we’re superstars
You say you think we are the best thing
And you, you just know
You just do

This song is so hopelessly beautiful....

[dowthin]

this song is literally an anxiety lullaby, always calms me down if shits a bit heavy!

[onlyadonis]

One day you wake up in your 40d and these times are all gone, except the nostalgic feeling of loss. You listen anyway, as the fays grow shorter and you hurtle into oblivion.

You listen to the xx, a band you discovered late, and you don't feel anything but the regret and loneliness of a life wasted. It's 6 am and you should be asleep, it is a work day, but you are sick of closing your eyes and seeing a life that you never lived, tired of pretending there is still time to be something more. You are at the beginning of the end if you are lucky.

LYRICS:


You, you still have all the answers
And you, you still have them too
And we, we live half in the day time
And we, we live half at night
Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know, you just do
When I find myself by the sea, in another's company by the sea
When I go out the pier, gonna dive and have no fear
Because you, you just know, you just do
Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know, you just do

Over a decade later and still my favourite song

[Twisted_Sound]

this band is the definition of sweet sadness.

[JamieOGman]

I had a toaster that broke... This song brings back fond memories of my lovely toaster! xxx

[amennnz]

The xx music is like a treasure to find

[jewel]

I swear, I can stay up all night listening to the xx

[blake]

Getting nostalgia from things I've never even experienced

[joryeggs]

this song gives me butterflies. it reminds me of cold nights cuddling up with my boyfriend, baking cookies for no reason, slow dancing in the living room just because. and most definitely him playing with my hair

[lolitaesparanza]

Romy's voice is so beautiful and soft 😩😩😩

[garystfu]

This song reminds me of long days out and long car rides home. As my tired eyes would give out as I fell asleep in the back.

[aaronwu]

The XX's music is so calming... I listen to them when I write.,  

[BrandonIsaacGaray]

it makes me so happy that music like this exists, and people to enjoy it with(:

[craz]

Man this makes me nostalgic for when I was a kid and this album just came out.. my parents used to play it on road trips all the time. So much has changed in a decade but music can always be a reliable time capsule :’)

[jdchy]

one of the sweetest yet loneliest nostalgic songs ever - suddenly i am a kid & everything is alright again...

[lennarosefairy]

idk weather it was bc i was super high but this song touched me to the point i cried.

[orangeyewglad]

Haven't listened to this song since I was about 19. Listening to it at 32 is so incredibly nostalgia inducing, it makes me miss a simpler time when everyone was carefree and lived for the adventure and moments with our friends we felt we were having the deepest most meaningful times of our lives with. The truth is, some of those really were the most meaningful moments we'll ever have, and we need to continue to try to make those moments even though we're older and have less time and different priorities than we did back then.

[stained-zw]

their voices represent the genre in so many ways
