in your hair
Blowing
everywhere
Please don't go,
I want you to know
I'll love you, always
I remember when I saw you
Sitting alone, sitting alone
You were happy when you saw me
Noticing you noticing me
I remember when I saw you
Sitting alone, sitting alone
You were happy when you saw me
Noticing you noticing me
The lyrics to Beach Vacation's song "I Saw You" express a yearning for someone's presence and love. The first verse sets the scene with "ocean air in your hair, blowing everywhere." This imagery creates a sense of freedom, but also establishes the setting at a beach or near the ocean. The chorus pleads for the person not to leave and reassures them of the singer's love, saying "I'll love you, always." The repetition of "I remember when I saw you, sitting alone" in the second verse highlights the significance of the moment the singer first saw the person. The lines "you were happy when you saw me, noticing you noticing me" conveys a mutual attraction and suggests that the singer may have been hesitant to approach the person at first.
The lyrics to "I Saw You" are short and concise, but convey a strong and relatable message. It captures the feeling of seeing someone for the first time and being struck by an immediate attraction. The song presents a hopeful and optimistic view of a potential relationship, but also acknowledges the uncertainty and hesitation that can come with such an encounter.

Its funny because this song was my alarm for months and i never got tired or started to hate this song (which id expect since it woke me out of my precious sleep). Also, its vey nostalgic to me now as it reminds me of the time that it was the very first part of my days.
