Boyfriend
DIA. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You told a friend and she told a friend that
I was the one that you would pretend was
Wrapped in your arms and it never ends no
I think you want me to be your girlfriend
You were the one who gave me those eyes oh
I had forgotten what butterflies felt like
In the moment it all just feels so right
I think I want you to be my boyfriend
Why does it feel like I'm back in high school?
Watching the way that you walk, you're so cool
Can't help but thinking that this is all so new
I hope you ask me to be your girlfriend

Is it a daydream? Is it what it seems?
Tell me you want me, don't let it haunt me
Will you just stay here? Can we just lay here?
I'll never look back cause somebody said that

You told a friend and she told a friend that
I was the one that you would pretend was
Wrapped in your arms and it never ends no
I think you want me to be your girlfriend (yeah)

Let's go out and we'll run away
Flying high there's nothing to say
You and me the rest of our days

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I got you and now it's okay
Found ourselves, there's no more mistakes
You and me the rest of our days
Yeah

You were the one that I had to figure out
Gave it time so I know what you're about
Now we're here and I really want to shout
To the world that you are my boyfriend
You told a friend and she told a friend that
I was the one that you would pretend was




Wrapped in your arms and it never ends no
I know you want me to be your girlfriend
