Beach
San Cisco (triple j) Lyrics

Hello hello
The singer greets someone whom they have been observing for a while.

I've been waiting, watching you all night
The singer has been patiently keeping an eye on the person all night.

I don't know why
The singer is unsure of their attraction to this person.

In the morning
The singer anticipates the next day.

I'll be waking wishing I was right
The singer wakes up with the hope that their attraction to the person is worthwhile.

Maybe sometimes
The singer considers taking the person out for a date.

In the evening I'll take you out for dinner and a fight
The singer plans to take the person out for a meal and a potential argument or disagreement.

Can't read your mind I can't read your mind
The singer acknowledges that they cannot understand the person's thoughts and feelings.

We watched the sun go down and then the moon comes out
The singer and the person spent some time together outside and watched the sunset.

Paint pictures with your hand
The person is creating something with their hands that the singer finds captivating.

I'll chase you
The singer is willing to pursue the person they are attracted to.

I'm your biggest fan
The singer is openly expressing their admiration for the person.

Who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
The singer wonders who will be there to support the person if they run away.

Running so far away so far away
The singer believes the person is likely to distance themselves.

My mind is black and blue
The singer's thoughts are in turmoil.

It keeps pictures of you
The person is constantly on the singer's mind.

Now I know why
The singer has figured out the reason for their strong feelings towards the person.

You moved away from here
The person has gone to a different location.

To another hemisphere
The person is now living in a place far away.

All I want to be is in your company
The singer desires to spend time with the person.

I made a mixtape
The singer created a collection of songs for the person.

With all the songs that you hate
The mixtape includes songs that the person dislikes.

Can't read your mind I give up this time
The singer has given up on trying to understand the person's feelings.

I heard your voice today
The singer recently heard the person's voice.

But we last spoke in may
The singer and the person have not spoken in a while.

I still miss you
The singer is still longing for the person.

Now you're a ghost at sea
The person is now like a lost soul at sea.

Drifting peacefully
The singer imagines the person drifting calmly.

You'll never come back to me
The singer has accepted that the person will not return to them.

I read your eulogy
The singer speaks about the person's life as if they have passed away.

Running so far away so far away
The singer repeats their fear that the person will continue to distance themselves.

Who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
The singer wonders if anyone will be there for the person if they try to escape.
