Shady Beach
Sunshine State of Mind: Embracing Positivity in Shady Situations
Lyrics
Yeah I tried to make us work
Expressing an attempt to make the relationship work.
But you weren't too concerned
Noting the partner's lack of concern for the relationship.
Spent way too much time girl, playing your games
Criticizing the partner for playing games and wasting time.
Now we're out of time, you had your shot
Acknowledging that time has run out for the relationship.
And I'm taking mine, a little Jose and lime
Taking personal initiative with a drink ("Jose and lime") to move on.
I guess what I'm trying to say is
Summarizing the speaker's positive mindset - "sunshine state of mind."
I'm in that sunshine state of mind
Expressing a positive state of mind despite the breakup.
Where you won't be crossing mine
Setting boundaries to avoid further conflicts.
Can't do me wrong, with my wayfarers on
Asserting the speaker's resilience with sunglasses ("wayfarers").
I got rum in a coconut
Indicating the presence of a tropical drink ("rum in a coconut").
That somehow keeps filling up
Highlighting the carefree and abundant atmosphere.
Ain't a single cloud in sight
Describing the perfect weather with no clouds in sight.
Laid back on a blue sky high
Emphasizing a relaxed and carefree attitude.
Where it's 93, somewhere you won't be
Specifying a geographical location where the ex-partner won't be.
Girl can't you see, nobody, no, nobody likes a shady beach
Stating a general truth: nobody likes a deceptive or untrustworthy person ("shady beach").
You're always complaining
Addressing the ex-partner's habit of complaining.
You can't find no shade and
Pointing out the irony of the ex-partner seeking shade when they throw shade at the speaker.
That's funny cuz you're good at throwing it my way
Commenting on the ex-partner's tendency to criticize.
And I'll go ahead and tell ya
Expressing the speaker's preference for an active and enjoyable lifestyle.
I ain't the type of fella
Rejecting the idea of wasting time under an umbrella.
To sit under an umbrella, and waste the day away
Asserting the speaker's proactive and energetic nature.
I'm in that sunshine state of mind
Reiterating the positive state of mind in a sunny location.
Where you won't be crossing mine
Emphasizing the importance of respecting boundaries.
Can't do me wrong, with my wayfarers on
Reaffirming the speaker's resilience with sunglasses.
I got rum in a coconut
Highlighting the presence of a tropical drink for enjoyment.
That somehow keeps filling up
Emphasizing the ongoing enjoyment and abundance.
Ain't a single cloud in sight
Describing the ideal weather with no clouds.
Laid back on a blue sky high
Portraying a laid-back and carefree state under a clear sky.
Where it's ninety-three, somewhere you won't be
Specifying a geographical location where the ex-partner won't be.
Girl can't you see, nobody, no, nobody likes a shady beach
Repeating the general truth: nobody likes a deceptive or untrustworthy person ("shady beach").
Palm trees were meant for swaying in the breeze
Highlighting the beauty and natural movement of palm trees.
And those umbrellas just look good in drinks
Commenting on the aesthetic appeal of umbrellas in drinks.
Cuz nobody likes a shady beach
Reiterating the dislike for deceptive or untrustworthy individuals ("shady beach").
I'm in that sunshine state of mind
Reaffirming the positive state of mind in a sunny location.
Where you won't be crossing mine
Reiterating the importance of respecting boundaries.
Can't do me wrong, with my wayfarers on
Reaffirming the speaker's resilience with sunglasses.
I got rum in a coconut
Highlighting the presence of a tropical drink for enjoyment.
That somehow keeps filling up
Emphasizing the ongoing enjoyment and abundance.
Ain't a single cloud in sight
Describing the ideal weather with no clouds.
Laid back on a blue sky high
Portraying a laid-back and carefree state under a clear sky.
Where it's 93, somewhere you won't be
Specifying a geographical location where the ex-partner won't be.
Girl can't you see, that nobody, no, nobody
Repeating the general truth: nobody likes a deceptive or untrustworthy person ("shady beach").
Nobody likes a shady beach
Concluding with a firm statement that nobody likes a deceptive or untrustworthy person ("shady beach").
