Beach Bunny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm without
Baptized in sin
And blessed with doubt
Most nights I hardly know myself
Sometimes I feel like someone else
Was I ever good enough for you
I'm tryna live up to
I can never get to you
You always seem closer in the rearview
Underneath all apathy
You're woven into my tapestry
Did you ever love me at all?
Sometimes I start to lose control
Was I ever good enough for you
There's always someone
I'm tryna live up to
I can never get to you
You always seem closer in the rearview
You love me
I love you
You don't love me anymore
I still do
I'm sorry
I'm trying
I hate it when you catch me crying
You love me
I love you
You don't love me anymore
I still do
I'm sorry
I'm trying
I hate it when you catch me crying
Beach Bunny's "Rearview" is a poignant ballad about feeling unworthy and inadequate in a romantic relationship. The lyrics of the song hint at the internal struggle the singer feels, with lines like "withered within when I'm without," and "sometimes I feel like someone else." The themes of guilt, regret, and unrequited love are layered throughout the lyrics, as the singer reflects on the past and the present of their relationship. The chorus of the song is particularly telling, with lyrics like "was I ever good enough for you? there's always someone I'm trying to live up to, I can never get to you, you always seem closer in the rearview." These lyrics paint a picture of a lover who feels inadequate and believes that they are perpetually chasing something they can never attain.
The bridge of the song adds a layer of complexity, as the singer reflects on the past and wonders if the love they had was ever mutual. They ask, "did you ever love me at all? sometimes I start to lose control," revealing that their own feelings may be more intense than their partner's. The song ends with a confession of love and a plea for forgiveness, with the singer stating, "you love me, I love you, you don't love me anymore, I still do, I'm sorry, I'm trying, I hate it when you catch me crying." These final lyrics show the singer's willingness to continue to fight for their relationship, even when things seem hopeless.

I wither within
I feel like I'm wasting away inside
When I'm without
When I'm not with you
Baptized in sin
I've done things I regret
And blessed with doubt
I'm plagued with uncertainty
Most nights I hardly know myself
I feel lost and unsure of who I am
Sometimes I feel like someone else
I don't recognize myself
Was I ever good enough for you
I feel like I failed to meet your expectations
There's always someone
I'm constantly comparing myself to others
I'm tryna live up to
I'm trying to meet certain standards
I can never get to you
I feel like we're growing apart
You always seem closer in the rearview
It feels like you're leaving me behind
Underneath all apathy
Despite my indifference toward many things
You're woven into my tapestry
You're an integral part of my life
Did you ever love me at all?
I'm questioning whether our love was ever true
Sometimes I start to lose control
I feel overwhelmed and powerless
You love me
You used to love me
I love you
I still love you
You don't love me anymore
You've fallen out of love
I still do
I'm still in love
I'm sorry
I regret what went wrong
I'm trying
I'm doing my best to make it work
I hate it when you catch me crying
I feel vulnerable and exposed in front of you

lyrics from what i heard:
with or within
but not without
baptized in sin
and blessed with doubt
most nights i hardly know myself
sometimes i feel like someone else
was i ever good enough for you?
there's always someone
i'm tryna live up to
i can never get to you
you always seem closer in the rearview
underneath all apathy
you've woven into my tapestry
did you ever love me at all?
sometimes i start to lose control
was i ever good enough for you?
there's always someone
i'm tryna live up to
i can never get to you
you always seem closer in the rearview
you love me, i love you
you don't love me anymore, i still do
i'm sorry, im trying
i hate it when you catch me crying
