Beach Boy
Knox Hamilton Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't let go

And it's come down to taking seperate cars
Not even ended up at the same park
And I know you have got your broken heart
But what am I to do, accept your fall?

Beach Boy, don't wanna know
Said you loved him but he cried when you let him go

Beach Boy, don't wanna fight
Said you loved him but you let him wander through the night

Found what you're left of here
Ran away in fits and tears
Guess you expect me to cheer
I won't do such a thing

You have only yourself to blame
But I know that you feel the same
Don't you find it kind of strange
I can't give up

And it's come down to taking seperate cars
Not even ended up at the same park
And I know you have got your broken heart
But what am I to do, accept your fall?

Beach Boy, don't wanna know
Said you loved him but he cried when you let him go

Beach Boy, don't wanna fight
Said you loved him but you let him wander through the night

Said goodbye to loving but now you wanna think about it
Said goodbye to loving and I heard you dream about him

Said goodbye to loving but now you wanna think about it
Said goodbye to loving and I heard you dream about him

And it's come down to taking seperate cars
Not even ended up at the same park
And I know you have got your broken heart
But what am I to do, accept your fall?

Beach Boy, don't wanna know
Said you loved him but he cried when you let him go

Beach Boy, don't wanna fight
Said you loved him but you let him wander through the night

Overall Meaning

The song "Beach Boy" by Knox Hamilton is a heart-wrenching track about a failed relationship where the singer is struggling to move on from his partner's infidelity. The song starts with the singer sitting alone, questioning where things went wrong. The couple had planned to be together, and yet they find themselves in separate cars not even ending up in the same park. The singer refuses to cheer up the partner who had cheated on them and ran away in fits of tears, even though they also share the pain of the broken relationship.

The chorus "Beach Boy, don't wanna know, Said you loved him but he cried when you let him go, Beach Boy, don't wanna fight, Said you loved him but you let him wander through the night" depicts the singer's pain and sense of betrayal towards the partner. The partner let go of the love they shared with the singer and instead chose to love someone else. The line, "Said goodbye to loving but now you wanna think about it, Said goodbye to loving and I heard you dream about him" suggests the partner now realizes their mistake, but it's too late to fix things.

The song is a powerful tender ballad with some soulful indie-pop undertones. It deals with the rawness of heartbreak, and it's slightly ambiguous, which makes it relatable to anyone who has ever experienced heartbreak. Overall, the song is about coping with the pain of a broken relationship, acknowledging that sometimes it's impossible to fix things.

Sitting here all alone
Feeling alone and isolated

Wondering what it was I did wrong
Reflecting on a relationship that went wrong

We planned this all along
Had this relationship planned from the beginning

How can it be so
Questioning how things turned out this way

I had only all night to live
Feels like time is running out

We're saying nothing else left to give
There's nothing more to say or do

Can't we make it through this bridge
Trying to find a way to save the relationship

I can't let go
Holding onto the hope that the relationship can be saved

And it's come down to taking separate cars
The couple has separated and gone their own ways

Not even ended up at the same park
Their paths don't cross anymore

And I know you have got your broken heart
Acknowledging the pain the other person is going through

But what am I to do, accept your fall?
Not sure how to help or what to do to fix things

Beach Boy, don't wanna know
Not interested in hearing about the other person's new relationship

I won't do such a thing
