In the years that followed, the band was separated geographically, while Fabian pursued an Architecture degree at the University of Florida and Daniel left Florida to attend Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Nonetheless, during this period, Boyce Avenue assembled at every available opportunity to collaborate musically. It was not until October of 2004 and the subsequent months, however, that Boyce Avenue would really come into its own. Daniel, who had recently graduated from law school, reconnected with the band in Florida as its full-time bassist, and Alejandro, at the age of 18, launched into writing the band's first original song, "Find Me." In the following months, the band performed locally in its hometown of Sarasota, and in April of 2005, the band hit the stage at Pine View High School for the last time. The band's performance at the Mr. Pine View competition, an event which Alejandro would go on to win, was covered in the local press.
Upon Alejandro's graduation from high school, he joined Fabian at the University of Florida, in Gainesville, where the band refined its signature sound playing out in traditional venues like Market Street and Side Bar. In October of 2006 and the months that followed, the band recorded its first three singles at Nickel and Dime Studios near Atlanta, Georgia. The project was engineered by Kris Sampson (Train, the Black Crowes) and produced by Don McCollister (Sister Hazel, Third Day). In 2007 and 2008, Boyce Avenue was honored in several songwriting competitions judged by a host of accomplished and renowned music industry artists, professionals, and executives. The band qualified as a Southeast Semifinalist in the 2007 IMWS competition; "All The While" was selected as a Semi-Finalist in the 2007 International Songwriting Competition, and as one of twelve Lennon Award Winners in the 2007 John Lennon Songwriting Contest; "Find Me" was selected as a Finalist in the Pop category for the U.S.A. Songwriting Competition; and "Hear Me Now (piano acoustic)" was selected as a finalist in the Best Group/Duo category for the IAMA songwriting competition, and as a finalist in the 2008 International Songwriting Competition.
Focused on the completion of a debut album, Boyce Avenue took a hiatus from its public performance schedule to write, produce, and record additional singles. In July of 2007, the band returned to Atlanta, Georgia, this time to record three songs at the Electron Gardens Studio in the historic Biltmore Hotel. These songs were engineered by Gary Pfaff and Tim Delaney, and were produced by Boyce Avenue. In October of the same year, the band finished tracking for the debut album with the recording of two songs at RMP Studios in Orlando, Florida. The final three songs for the album, "Dare To Believe," "On My Way," and "Hear Me Now (piano acoustic)" were engineered at RMP Studios by Veit Renn (Jennifer Hudson) and Adam Barber (Creed, Shinedown, Alterbridge), and were produced by Boyce Avenue.
The debut album, titled “All You’re Meant To Be,” was released by Boyce Avenue on March 25, 2008. All of the songs were mixed by Austin Deptula (Eisley, New Found Glory), and the entire project was mastered by Rodney Mills (Pearl Jam, REM, Sheryl Crow). The physical album is available worldwide exclusively through Storenvy, while the download versions can be found on iTunes/Amazon.com/Rhapsody/Napster/eMusic. Since the album's release, it has been written about in CNN Money, the Kings of A&R, and in other press, its songs have been featured on various MTV shows, and the band has established itself as one of the top 8 Artists of All-Time on YouTube, with over 90 million hits. Most recently, "All You're Meant To Be" has been licensed for sale nationwide in the Philippines through MCA Music, and is on path to Gold status. On the strength of the band's touring success in the United States and the Philippines, the band launched a worldwide tour in 2009.

Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh can't you see
You belong to me?
And how my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please
Oh can't you see
You belong to me?
Oh how my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

The classic hit song "Every Breath" by Boyce Avenue originally written by The Police is a song about a person's infatuation with someone else. The song is written from the perspective of someone who is so in love with another person that they simply cannot let them go. The singer states that they will be watching every breath that the other person takes, and paying attention to every move, every word, and every action they make.
The lyrics are often interpreted as being somewhat obsessive, with the singer saying things like "every vow you break" and "every claim you stake." These lines suggest that the singer is keeping a close eye on every aspect of the other person's life. However, the song is also about the pain and longing that the person feels after the other leaves. They dream about the other person, and they feel lost without them. The song conveys a sense of desperation, as the person begs for the other to come back to them.
Overall, the song is a powerful message about the intensity and pain of love, and how it can take hold of a person's life completely.

Every breath you take
I pay attention to every inhale and exhale you make
Every move you make
I'm aware of all your actions and gestures
Every bond you break
I notice when any connections or ties you have are severed
Every step you take
I observe each and every step you take
I'll be watching you
I am keeping a close eye on you
Every single day
Day in and day out, I observe your behavior
Every word you say
I listen intently to each and every sentence you utter
Every game you play
I'm aware of any strategies or tactics you use
Every night you stay
Even when you're asleep, I'm keeping an eye on you
Oh can't you see
I hope you recognize what I'm doing for you
You belong to me?
I feel like you are in my possession
And how my poor heart aches
Your actions cause me emotional pain
With every step you take
Even your smallest actions affect me greatly
Every vow you break
I take notice when you fail to keep promises
Every smile you fake
It's obvious to me when you're not being genuine
Every claim you stake
I observe when you make claims or assertions
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
When you're not around, I feel aimless and adrift
I dream at night, I can only see your face
In my dreams, you are the only thing I see
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I've tried to find someone else, but no one quite measures up to you
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace
Without you, I feel empty and alone, and crave your physical touch
I keep crying baby, baby, please
I beg and plead for your return
Every step you take
I pay attention to your movements
I'll be watching you
I'll always be keeping an eye on you
Every breath you take
I remain aware of your breathing
I'll be watching you
I'll continue to observe your every move
Every single day
My vigilance will never waver
Every word you say
I'll continue to listen to everything you say
Every game you play
I won't miss any games you play
Every night you stay
Even while you're sleeping, I'll be keeping watch
Every move you make
I am scrutinizing all your actions
Every vow you break
If you break any promises, I'll be aware
Every smile you fake
I'll detect any insincere expressions
Every claim you stake
I'll notice any declarations you make
I'll be watching you
My vigilance will never cease

Johan Fernando
It sounds like this is nothing new
And that it hasn't been for a while
You wake up on the other side
And you strain to force a smile
The fairy tale inside your head
Has become your new best friend
But I can show you that I'll be there
Before the story ends
'Cause when I needed a place to hang my heart
You were there to wear it from the start
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see
I'm racing to the finish line
Of a lifetime that's barely started
The peace of mind I left behind
I pray you'll keep in your perfect garden
You're waiting on a minute hand
And a countdown that lasts for days
But I'm here tell you
It won't be long before I'm here to stay
'Cause when I needed a place to hang my heart
You were there to wear it from the start
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see
The weightlessness and a lack of rest
Away from you I'm in over my head
Even when it's dark before the dawn
I'll feel your grace and carry on
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see
When I needed a place to hang my heart
You were there to wear it from the start
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see
Even when it's dark before the dawn
I will feel your grace and carry on
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see
The be the only light I see
