The Beach Lyrics
Well, you're a long walk from my street
And I'm dying in this summer heat
I hope like hell you're waiting, waiting
Everybody's living like they're crazy in love
I'm a dizzy mess
And everything is so above me
From the floor I found the life I lead today
Well, they can take, take, take the kids from the summer
But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me
It was the very first time
That I lost my mind for a week
They can't make, make, make me forget the weather
If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet
It was the very last time
That we said goodbye to the beach
Showing off, showing off our teeth
So make one last call back home
'Cause tonight we go it alone
And I hope that you know I'm waiting, waiting
(Tell me, do you feel me?)
Everybody's singing like they're crazy in love
We made a dizzy mess of everything
And it was enough
So bring all the boys and all the girls together
Well, they can take, take, take the kids from the summer
But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me
It was the very first time
That I lost my mind for a week
They can't make, make, make me forget the weather
If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet
It was the very last time
That we said goodbye to the beach
Showing off, showing off our teeth
You're going out in style
And I'm getting tired of all your lying
(Tell me, do you feel me?; listen, can you hear it?)
Stop pretending
(Cave in and believe me; open up and scream it)
Stop; the answer's in the smile
And I'm coming clean
Just give me something
(Tell me, do you feel me?; listen, can you hear it?)
Stop pretending
(Cave in and believe me; open up and scream it)
Well, they can take, take, take the kids from the summer
But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me
It was the very first time
That I lost my mind for a week
They can't make, make, make me forget the weather
If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet
It was the very last time
That we said goodbye to the beach
Showing off, showing off our teeth
And I'm dying in this summer heat
I hope like hell you're waiting, waiting
I'm a dizzy mess
And everything is so above me
From the floor I found the life I lead today
But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me
It was the very first time
That I lost my mind for a week
They can't make, make, make me forget the weather
If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet
It was the very last time
That we said goodbye to the beach
Showing off, showing off our teeth
'Cause tonight we go it alone
And I hope that you know I'm waiting, waiting
(Tell me, do you feel me?)
We made a dizzy mess of everything
And it was enough
So bring all the boys and all the girls together
But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me
It was the very first time
That I lost my mind for a week
They can't make, make, make me forget the weather
If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet
It was the very last time
That we said goodbye to the beach
Showing off, showing off our teeth
And I'm getting tired of all your lying
(Tell me, do you feel me?; listen, can you hear it?)
Stop pretending
(Cave in and believe me; open up and scream it)
Stop; the answer's in the smile
And I'm coming clean
Just give me something
(Tell me, do you feel me?; listen, can you hear it?)
Stop pretending

But they'll never, never, never take the summer from me
It was the very first time
That I lost my mind for a week
They can't make, make, make me forget the weather
If I never, never, never wash the sand from my feet
It was the very last time
That we said goodbye to the beach
Showing off, showing off our teeth

It's about Ocean City, MD. (They're from Maryland) And Senior Week "It was the very first time That I lost my mind for a week"
For those who aren't familiar, when you graduate high school around these parts (MD/PA/DE) everyone rushes to Ocean City to party it up and celebrate
The streets are numbered...hence "you're a long walk from my street". It's almost impossible to park anywhere besides your hotel, and there are so many traffic lights, that everyone walks everywhere.
"I'm a dizzy mess And everything is so above me From the floor I found the life I lead today" Partying. Although the hotel owners claim to crack down on underage drinking, most hotel owners have the policy that if you don't disturb others, you can party all you want.
"I'll never, never, never wash the sand from my feet" sand = beach

Well I come from Baltimore and I went through I time when I was upset all the time. When I hung out with my best friend he always knew how to make me laugh and forget about everything and he used to say "I love when you show of your teeth."

So they could just mean they're being happy and having a good time. I've heard this phrase used a lot around here.

i love love love this song. it reminds me so much of warped tour and just treasuring the summer for what its worth. its all about having fun and just living for the moment.
This song reminds me of warped too. Although that wasn't at the beach but still.LOVE IT
At the end of this year when I graduate, a majority of my senior class is going to Myrtle Beach for beach week, and this song is like perfect for it.
