There's some really beautiful moments here: when the hands spin across the screen as she says "I lost his hand in the current", when the bridge comes and the snare pops just so, and again when the instruments die off for the final chorus and she sings so lovely.

Man this song is so magical. The instrumental is as gorgeous as always, so are Molly's vocals (to a point where both almost synchronize in an infinitely satisfying way) and all of that is pulled together by the whiplash of the lyrics painting an atmosphere of absolute tragedy. A masterpiece. Love Alvvays.

We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight You took something before you went in the shower To help suppress the things that make you feel uptight And if I had known you couldn't swim We'd never have gone in I left my love in the river The only one who sees I lost his hand in the current It was the life I wanted and I'd hoped for And now I am left sifting through the leaves The sun's so hard I saw his skin through his t-shirt The grass so tall we knew he wouldn't be found We climbed into the stream so no one would be hurt And in no time at all there wasn't a sound If I had known you couldn't swim We'd never have gone in I left my love in the river The only one who sees I lost his hand in the current It was the life I wanted and I'd hoped for And now I am left sifting through the leaves No colour to his skin Inform the next of kin No colour to his skin I left my love in the river The only one I see I left his hand in the current And now I am left looking through the trees

Brilliant song! The meaning about the song by me is likely a coward love when the romantic part it's no for both. She looks to give all her love but he don't and that's why she touches on ''And if I had known you couldn't swim We'd never have gone in'', then ''I left my love in the river, The only one who sees, I lost his hand in the current, It was the life I wanted and I'd hoped for''.However, this has never been stated in interviews and Molly herself contends in NME that the lyrics stem from her isolated Nova Scotian upbringing.
