This song is so pretty and gentle, yet there is a feeling of despair to it. It is like an "eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die" feeling. It starts of as a story about a couple going to the beach, but there seems to be an unspoken sadness, and a feeling of "what is the point? " I get the feeling of the character wanting more from life but being content with a second rate love, and that he feels there is nothing more in life, so it doesn't matter what we do at all, and it didn't matter that they wrapped her Daddy's car round a tree. I also get the feeling that the good things in life are unfulfilling and not what they seem. (We didn't feel like driving any more, It was so good we got bored). There seems to be an underlying feeling of "there must be more to life than this."
