This song is about the need to get away from everything. There was a time a few summers ago that I would drive to the beach by myself at night to collect beach rocks for my garden. I found it quite peaceful, and kind of nice being by the ocean by myself at night. There's something nice about no one knowing where you are, and not needing company.
It was also nice to get out of the city, away from all the city lights and noise. I love singing this song because it always brings me back to that feeling of being out at the beach at night, and how peaceful it was under the stars, strolling along the shore.
