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.

Boyce Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be thinkin' of you, every day and every night
To thank you so many in this world and someday I'll make you my wife
So every time we're not together, I hope you know that you'll be alright
'Cause I, I'm gonna make you feel that you're the only girl in the world
Like you're the only one that I'll ever love
Like you're the only one who knows my heart
'Cause you're the only one who understands
How to make me feel like a man
And when you're lonely, I'll keep you company
Like this world was only made for you and me
And when it doesn't feel right with another I hope you believe
That in a world of no lie, I will be all that you need
I'm gonna make you feel like you're the only girl in the world
Like you're the only one that I'll ever love
Like you're the only one who knows my heart, oh
Like you're the only one is in command
'Cause you're the only one who understands
How to make me feel like a man
Da ra da da
Da ra da da
Da ra da da
Da ra da da
Woah
I'm gonna make you feel that you're the only girl in the world
Like you're the only one that I'll ever love
Like you're the only one who knows my heart
Oh, like you're the only one is in command
'Cause you're the only one who understands
How to make me feel like a man

The lyrics of Boyce Avenue ft. Alex Goot on piano's song Only Girl express the singer's love for his partner and his commitment to making her feel loved and cherished. The chorus "I'm gonna make you feel that you're the only girl in the world" emphasizes his desire to make his partner feel special and loved. He wants her to know that she is the only one that he thinks about day and night and that she'll always be okay without him. He expresses his intentions to marry her someday and spend the rest of his days with her.
The song talks about the common theme of love and relationships, but it also has a unique touch to it. The verses of the songs talks about how the singer's partner makes him feel like a man, and how their presence fills his loneliness. This is interesting as it reverses the stereotype that in a relationship the man has to be the one to make the woman feel safe and secure. The song is also interesting as it focuses on the feelings of the male singer, which is not commonly heard in love songs.
Another interesting aspect of the lyrics is the bridge, where the singer sings "Da ra da da" which emphasizes the depth of his love and how it goes beyond what he can express in words. It's a powerful statement that communicates the level of his love for his partner.
Overall, the song is a sweet and romantic love song that focuses on the value of mutual love and how it completes two people.
