Beach Lyrics

hello hello
I’ve been waiting, watching you all night I don’t know why
in the morning I’ll be waking wishing I was right maybe sometimes
in the evening I’ll take you out for dinner and a fight
can’t read your mind, can’t read your mind
we watched the sun go down and then the moon come out
paint pictures with your hands, I'll chase you I’m your biggest fan

who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
running so far away so far away
who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
running so far away so far away

my mind is black and blue
it keeps pictures of you. now I know why
you moved away from here to another hemisphere
and all I want to be is in your company
I made a mix tape with all the songs that you hate
can’t read your mind I give up this time

who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
running so far away so far away
who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
running so far away so far away

oooooh oooh ohhh oooh oooh oooooh oooh oohh oooh oooh

I heard your voice today, but we last spoke in may
I still miss you
now you're a ghost a sea, drifting peacefully
you'll never come back to me, I read your eulogy

who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
running so far away so far away
who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
running so far away so far away
who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
running so far away so far away
who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
running so far away so far away
who's gonna catch you now who's gonna catch you now
running so far away so far away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Seems like a "love lost" kind of song, but I don't relate to it as such. Sure it's corny and just a personal take, but the second stanza really gets to me.

I felt pretty bad for myself and I didn't know why. Now I realize we /were/ great friends, and you're gone and out of contact. I wish you had felt as bad as I did about leaving, but you seem so unfazed by anything. To get over losing a friendship...you made it seem easy.

But you keep haunting me, and if you suddenly reappeared I'd forgive everything just like that.
