Gonna cash it right in for a new Mercedes
You were worth the hundred thousand miles
But you couldn't stay awhile
I got your little brown shirt in my bottom drawer baby
And your little white socks in the top drawer
You were always leaving your shit around
And gone without a sound
Yeah I'm the first to fall,
And the last to know
Where'd you go?
Now i'm heels over head,
I'm hangin' upside-down
Thinkin' how you left me for dead
California bound
I got a first class ticket to a night all alone
And a front row seat up right by the phone
'Cause you're always on my mind
And I'm running out of time
I've got your hair on my pillow
And your smell in my sheets
And it makes me think about you
With the sand in your feet
Is it all you thought it'd be?
You mean everything to me
But I'm the first to fall,
And the last to know
Where'd you go?
Now i'm heels over head,
I'm hangin' upside-down
Thinkin' how you left me for dead
California bound
And when you hit the coast
I hope you think of me
And how I'm stuck here with the ghost
Of what we used to be
You're burnin' bridges baby (burnin' bridges)
Make your wishes
Yeah you're burnin' bridges baby (burnin' bridges)
Make your wishes
You're burnin' bridges baby (burnin' bridges)
Make your wishes
Yeah you're burnin' bridges baby (burnin' bridges)
Make your wishes
You're a chance taker, heartbreaker,
Got me wrapped around your finger
Chance taker, heartbreaker,
Got me wrapped around your finger
I got your runaway smile in my piggybank baby
Gonna cash it right in for a new Mercedes
If I drive a hundred thousand miles
Would you let me stay a while?
Now i'm heels over head,
I'm hangin' upside-down
Thinkin' how you left me for dead
California bound
And when you hit the coast
I hope you think of me
And how I'm stuck here with the ghost
Of what we used to be
Now i'm heels over head,
I'm hangin' upside-down
Thinkin' how you left me for dead
California bound
And when you hit the coast
Maybe you'll finally see
And then you'll turn it all around
And you'll come back to me
bam bitch! i was here! bahahaha......love kacey

The lyrics to Boys Like Girls' song "Heels Over Head" speak about a past relationship that the singer can't seem to get over. He has items from his ex-partner, like a shirt and socks, stored away in drawers. He reminisces about the good times they had, like the hundred thousand miles they traveled together, but notes that she couldn't stay. He's left wondering where she's gone and is desperate to have her back, feeling like he's hanging upside down with the world turning against him. The bridge refers to the singer's ex-partner, who seems to be burning bridges and leaving him behind. In the end, he hopes that she will come back to him and realize that they belong together.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a tale of heartbreak, longing, and desperation. The imagery and metaphors used to describe the feeling of being left behind are vivid and powerful. The singer's emotions are raw and exposed, making the listener sympathize with his situation. The chorus of "heels over head" is catchy and memorable, hammering home the sense of disorientation and confusion felt by the singer.

I got your runaway smile in my piggybank baby
I treasure your smile and want to hold it forever
Gonna cash it right in for a new Mercedes
I want to use your smile as currency to get something I fancy, like a new car
You were worth the hundred thousand miles
I was willing to travel far to be with you because you were worth it
But you couldn't stay awhile
Unfortunately, you couldn't stay with me for long
I got your little brown shirt in my bottom drawer baby
I like to keep reminders of you close to me, like your shirt
And your little white socks in the top drawer
Your belongings are scattered all over my place, and I like it that way
You were always leaving your shit around
You were a bit messy and forgetful with your belongings, but I loved you anyway
And gone without a sound
And sometimes you left without saying goodbye or explaining why
Yeah I'm the first to fall,
I'm always the first one to fall in love with you
And the last to know
I'm always the last one to know when you leave or change your mind
Where'd you go?
I'm wondering where you went, and why you had to leave
Now I'm heels over head,
Now I'm completely infatuated with you
I'm hangin' upside-down
I'm so in love with you that I feel dizzy and disoriented
Thinkin' how you left me for dead
I'm thinking about how you left me heartbroken and alone
California bound
You left for California, and I can't stop thinking about you
I got a first class ticket to a night all alone
I have the luxury of being alone with my thoughts tonight
And a front row seat up right by the phone
I'm sitting right next to the phone, just in case you call
'Cause you're always on my mind
I can't stop thinking about you, no matter how hard I try
And I'm running out of time
Time is running out for us to be together, and I don't know what to do
I've got your hair on my pillow
I have a strand of your hair on my pillow, and it comforts me
And your smell in my sheets
Your scent is still lingering on my sheets, and it reminds me of you
And it makes me think about you
Every little reminder of you, like your hair and smell, makes me think of you
With the sand in your feet
I picture you happy and carefree, with the sand in your feet
Is it all you thought it'd be?
I wonder if you're as happy as you hoped to be
You mean everything to me
You are everything to me, and I miss you so much
And when you hit the coast
And when you arrived in California
I hope you think of me
I hope you remember what we had, and that you miss me too
And how I'm stuck here with the ghost
I'm still haunted by our memories, and I can't move on
Of what we used to be
Of the love we once shared, that is now gone
You're burnin' bridges baby (burnin' bridges)
You're intentionally destroying our connection, and it hurts me
Make your wishes
You're doing what you want, without considering the consequences
Yeah you're burnin' bridges baby (burnin' bridges)
And you keep doing it, even though it's hurting both of us
Make your wishes
You continue making decisions that only benefit you
You're a chance taker, heartbreaker,
You're someone who takes risks, and breaks people's hearts
Got me wrapped around your finger
You have complete control over me, and I can't resist you
I got your runaway smile in my piggybank baby
I still hold onto the hope that we can be together again, and that your smile will be mine again
If I drive a hundred thousand miles
If I go the distance for you once more
Would you let me stay a while?
Would you let me be with you for a little while, and maybe give us another chance?

I was freaking 11 years old the first time I heard boys like girls on the radio. On that day I have never stop listening to their albums. Now that I am 27 it feels like yesterday

Boys Like Girls was my entire life in highschool. its crazy listening to them again and remembering crowd surfing at their shows when I was 17 and now a mother of 2. Sometimes I wish I could just be as carefree as I used to be. I fear my children will grow up listening to the talentless trash that's out today. This made my day to listen to again. Not surprised I haven't forgotten a single lyric ;)

You should see if they like “stand Atlantic “

I did exactly those things too! 😃 back when I was 15. Now I'm old

My daughter is my little pop/punk emo copy and I couldn’t be more proud 🥹
She’s 8 and we’ve already taken her to see; Mayday parade, boys like girls, red jumpsuit, the Maine, state champs, short stack, yungblud, 5sos, hot milk, those who dream, real friends and between you and me. It’s been a dream.

Remember one thing baby just because you have kids doesn't mean you can't still have fun you just need to remember it doesn't take near death experience to find out that life is all about the experiences we make as teens and then as parents inspire your kids to be a band and give them instruments and be their biggest fans
