Lyric discussion by schoofchen 

this song has a special meaning to me...for me it's about you being on holidays and there u just met a person who is fantastic, u fell in love with..and u know it's going to end after the holidays but u just try to enjoy the time u have with the guy/girl as much as possible...that's for me what the beginning of the song means :Do you want to go to the seaside? I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go I fell in love at the seaside I handled my charm with time and slight of hand

Do you want to go to the seaside? I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go I fell in love at the seaside She handled her charm with time and slight of hand, and oh

but now the holidays r over and both have to go their own way..although u still like the person, u know u gotta move on, and its hard to still love him/her coz they r far away, and somehow u realise that the relationship never had a chance coz the two lifes were just too different :But I'm just trying to love you In any kind of way But I find it hard to love you girl When you're far away Away

then the end of the song u think about the good time u had, it's ok being sad but it's also ok to move on and meet new ppl..

basically this song for me is about that one guy, i still like him but its hard coz he is far away, we had a great time togehter but we also knew it couldn't last forever..the lyrics r so simple but they explain the whole situation..one of my fav songs of the kooks..thank you guys (:
