The Beach lyrics by All Time Low

it is def a tradition. im frum maryland and just had senior weeek thi past summer it wuz great!!!

I think that this song is about the tradition in Maryland high schools, where the guys are from, to go on a trip to the beach with friends after graduation, fondly known as senior week. No parents, no rules, and never saying goodbye! Its awesome, def song worthy!

It sounds almost like he went on Summer break, and had a great time, and then had to leave, and going back to the normal way things were made him forget how it was exactly, but they can't take that part away from him that was his memory.

I think that part of this song means that when they went back to school or home or whatever their normal life was that even though things got back to the way they used to be, with all of their teachers giving work & tests and the norm or when their parents bugged them to get a job (they can take, take, take, take the kids from the summer) they still remembered all of the memories and times from the summer.

And then he's asking summer for one of those memories. He's asking for summer to give him something to remember, so that when everything goes back to the way it was, he has something to think about.

I think this song means freedom and independence because the words are saying that they can never take the summer from them
