Beach House – Take Care Lyrics

Alternative

Stand beside it, we can't hide the way you make us glow
It's no good unless it grows
Feel this burning, love of mine

Deep inside the ever-spinning
Tell me, does it feel?
It's no good unless it's real
Hillsides burning
Wild-eyed turning
'Til we're running from it

I'd take care of you
If you'd ask me to
In a year or two

You say swimming in the lake
We'll come across a snake
It is real and then it's fake
Feel its heartbeat
Feel what you heat
Far so fast, it feels too late

I'd take care of you
If you'd ask me to
In a year or two

I'll take care of you, take care of you
That's true
I'll take care of you, take care of you
That's true
I'll take care of you, take care of you
That's true
I'll take care of you, take care of you
That's true
I'll take care of you, take care of you
That's true
I'll take care of you, take care of you
That's true
I'll take care of you, take care of you
That's true
I'll take care of you, take care of you
That's true
I'll take care of you, take care of you
That's true
I'll take care of you, take care of you
That's true
I'll take care of you, take care of you
That's true

About This Song

"Take Care" is a dreamy, ethereal ballad that explores the vulnerability and intensity of intimate relationships through Beach House's signature dream pop sound. The song captures the delicate balance between desire and uncertainty, with lyrics that weave between moments of passionate connection ("feelings burning") and the anxiety of distinguishing reality from illusion ("it is real and then its fake"). Musically, the track features the duo's trademark lush synthesizers, reverb-drenched vocals, and hypnotic rhythms that create an almost otherworldly atmosphere. The recurring promise "I'll take care of you" serves as both a tender declaration of devotion and a desperate plea for trust, while the fragmented imagery of swimming, snakes, and spinning wheels suggests the disorienting nature of deep emotional attachment. The song exemplifies Beach House's ability to transform simple pop structures into something transcendent and emotionally complex, making it a standout track from their critically acclaimed *Teen Dream* album.
