Beach Baby Lyrics

Cover art for Beach Baby lyrics by Bon Iver

It's a matter-of-fact acceptance that the dissolution of his relationship was for the best, but it borders on bitterness - he condescends to tell her to warn her new lover that she will up and leave him as well.

I think there's a lot of hurt hidden by apathy here, he doesn't want to hear the keys in the lock or for her to stay any longer than necessary. I hear "But don't hurry - speed." As in speed instead of hurry, emphasizing that he wants her to get the hell out of there before he weakens again.

Last line is just a good description of some old fashioned beach sex.

Anyone else notice how there are two songs on this EP where babys and sex are correlated? I read somewhere that Blood Bank was about an unwanted pregnancy...be interesting to know if there is any truth to that.

you've got this one to a T, I'm not really sure I understood it till reading this but I'll go with you on it cos' it's a pretty good shout. Well done
