The Beach
Mykey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stay up late to watch the stars. Sneak away to amusement parks. Autumn leaves, summer nights, carousels for two, and I said hello mister ticket man. I'd like two tickets for this one, too.
Floral tees and cut up jeans. Glasses with the glass missing. Movie theaters never seemed to be so goddamn boring. Before I ever heard you say I love you. Well I love you too.
And I will wait, for you.
And I will wait, for you.
And I will wait, for you.
Oh on the beach yeah I will wait for you.
We get lost in amsterdam. We tour the east side holding hands oh your eyes filled with the city, university, some day we'll be, lucky, enough to call this home. Dinner out and breakfast in. I watch your hands draw where we've been oh I've been a fool in this carnival for two, I remember when, you held my hand and said I love you. Well I love you too.
And I will wait, for you.

And I will wait, for you.
And I will wait, for you.
Oh on the beach yeah I will wait for you.
Behind that crooked smile. I feel a little sad, haven't talked to you in a while. But still I say, and I'll repeat myself one day. It's funny how this little town turned out okay.
It's funny how, for you.
It's funny how, for you.
It's funny how, for you.

Oh on the beach yeah I will wait for you.
Oh on the beach yeah I will wait for you. see less
