Beach Bum
Beach Bum Reflections: Love's Hazy Summer Escape
Lyrics
Waking up just wanna get you out of my head
Expressing a desire to remove thoughts of someone upon waking up.
Getting high while I'm waiting for you in the sand
Using substances (getting high) while anticipating the person's arrival at the beach.
(Yeah)
An interjection, possibly emphasizing a feeling or agreement.
I know you're probably doing better off without me
Acknowledging that the person may be doing better without the speaker.
I'm getting tired of hearing of him it's making me drowsy
Expressing weariness of hearing about the person with someone else.
Love is blind until you've spent your time
Love is perceived as blind until time is invested.
I had a feeling that it wouldn't stay
Had a premonition that the relationship wouldn't last.
But I shouldn't groan because I'm left alone
Despite the breakup, refraining from complaining about being alone.
Sipping slowly in the summer shade
Enjoying a leisurely drink in the summer shade.
It's clear to see that you and me aren't working
Observing that the relationship is not functioning.
Cause you and I may need some time away
Recognizing the need for some time apart in the relationship.
It's a beach bummer in an endless summer without you
Describing a disappointing beach experience during an endless summer without the person.
I can't believe I used to think there was something about you
Expressing disbelief in previously thinking positively about the person.
You were the reason that I thought it was gonna be fine
Attributing positive expectations to the person, now proven wrong.
But now the only conclusion is I must've been losing my mind
Concluding that the speaker must have been delusional or mistaken.
(Yeah)
Reiteration of the idea that love can be blind until experience reveals the truth.
Love is blind until you've spent your time
Reaffirming the earlier realization that the relationship wouldn't last.
I had a feeling that it wouldn't stay
Despite the breakup, resisting the urge to complain about being alone.
But I shouldn't groan because I'm left alone
Repeating the image of leisurely sipping in the summer shade alone.
Sipping slowly in the summer shade
Restating the observation that the relationship is not functioning.
It's clear to see that you and me aren't working
Acknowledging the need for some time apart in the relationship.
Cause you and I may need some time away
Reiteration of the realization that the relationship is not working.
