Dear Boy
Avicii - www.Webmusic.IN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whole life changed while bones like yours and mine
Go dance in the woods and down we go, down, down
Oh boy, you're mine, do you remember old times?
Oh, dear boy, I wanna follow you
You're a wild boy, I am a wild girl, too
Oh dear boy, it's so hollow without you
Oh, dear boy, I wanna follow you
You're a wild boy, I am a wild girl, too
Oh, dear boy, it's so shallow without you
It's a chance, boy, everything I ask of you
Sweet love of mine, destruction ain't a crime
For those who find love as a game like you and I
Go dance in the waters of all the tears we have cried
Oh boy, we're fine, do you remember our time?
Oh, dear boy, I wanna follow you
You're a wild boy, I am a wild girl, too
Oh dear boy, it's so hollow without you
In a world with everything but it won't do
Oh, dear boy, I wanna follow you
You're a wild boy, I am a wild girl, too
Oh, dear boy, it's so shallow without you
It's a chance, boy, everything I ask of you

Even after 9 years, this is still iconic.

Haven't heard this in time and it still just as massive as the first time I heard it 🙌🏻
@thedilimon2096
I barely listen to anything like this. But back when I was in High School and heard it even I had to play it a dozen times a day. Definitely deserves to be as big as it is.
