Beach House Lyrics

[Intro]
You had one job!

[Verse 1]
Woke up on the West side
Listening to Beach House, taking my time
She's just my type
Dark hair, wavin’ out the passenger side
Then I start to think
As she pulls me on the bathroom floor
This is my type of thing, yeah yeah

[Chorus]
Oh, darling of mine, where have you been?
I feel so alive with you in my bed
Oh, darling of mine, please don't let go
Just tell me you feel this, tell me you know
Oh, darling of mine

[Drop]
Oh, darling of mine

[Verse 2]
On a train through Japan
I keep her real close 'cause she knows who I am
Red pill in my hand
Paranoid cutie with a dark past, and
It’s that type of thing
When she feels like the girl next door
This is my type of thing, yeah yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, darling of mine, where have you been?
I feel so alive with you in my bed
Oh, darling of mine, please don't let go
Just tell me you feel this, tell me you know
Oh, darling of mine

[Drop]
Oh, darling of mine
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Where have you been?

[Verse 3]
And then I start to think as I lift her on the sink
That I've been here before
It's a certain type of fling, she gets bored of everything
Not the type you can ignore
Yeah, I just want a taste as she grabs me by the waist
As she closes the door
She's taking what she wants, baby, you can have it all

[Chorus]
Oh, darling of mine, where have you been? (Where have you been?)
I feel so alive with you in my bed (You in my bed)
Oh, darling of mine, please don't let go (Please don't let go)
Just tell me you feel this, tell me you know
Oh, darling of mine
[Drop]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Oh, darling of mine

Genius Annotation

In a return to the romantic dance-pop style that first made them famous on hits such as “Closer” and “Paris”, The Chainsmokers tell a story of falling in love over a tropical-inspired beat.

The song was first announced via an Instagram post on November 14th, 2018 revealing a short clip of the song featuring Taggart. They officially announced the song on the 15th in an Instagram post teasing the song as well as showcasing the cover art.

The song is both a stylistic and lyrical return to form for the duo, after a series of singles that diverged from their established sound. In addition, the song’s light-hearted lyrical tone stands in contrast to the darker and more introspective themes of the year’s earlier songs such as “Sick Boy” and “Siren”.
