The Boy and a Guitar
Hollywood Nobody Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I once fell in love with an ordinary boy
He's only a boy with his crying guitar
He thinks of the world but the world in on the run
There's no time to turn and smile

He has these eyes and hands to hear
He only sees with his fulfilled heart
His sweat is the music
And the earth is the stage
At the end of the day he smiled and gone
Gone gone gone he's going to me

I am the audience applauding at him
And this smile I mentioned I get everyday
In our secret place that no one knows
In our sanctuary I thought I lost

I once fell in love with an ordinary boy
He's only a boy with his crying guitar
He thinks of the world but the world in on the run
There's no time to turn and smile

He has these eyes and hands to hear
He only sees with his fulfilled heart
His sweat is the music
And the earth is the stage
At the end of the day he smiled and gone
Gone gone gone he's going to me

He has these eyes and hands to hear
He only sees with his fulfilled heart
His sweat is the music
And the earth is the stage
He has these eyes and hands to hear
He only sees with his fulfilled heart
His sweat is the music
And the earth is the stage
He has these eyes and hands to hear
He only sees with his fulfilled heart
His sweat is the music




And the earth is the stage
And the earth is the stage

I once fell in love with an ordinary boy
At one point I was enamored by a regular guy


He's only a boy with his crying guitar
He's just a kid with his guitar who plays with a lot of emotions


He thinks of the world but the world in on the run
He ponders the world while it rushes past him


There's no time to turn and smile
There's always too much going on for him to stop and enjoy himself


He has these eyes and hands to hear
His eyes and hands are able to translate sound


He only sees with his fulfilled heart
He only views the world with contentment


His sweat is the music
His hard work and effort is what creates amazing music


And the earth is the stage
The world is his platform to perform

He travels to me after finishing his day

As his audience, I cheer him on


And this smile I mentioned I get everyday
I feel happy every day as a result of hearing his music


In our secret place that no one knows
We have a discreet location where we enjoy each other's company


In our sanctuary I thought I lost
At one point, I thought I had lost our special place

I didn't get to see you before I got to know you
I thought you're just some random regular issue
Who's playing cool, I bought it, I played it
Who's playing cool
I got to see you that day right before I lose interest
I still thought you were playing cool guy
Who thinks he's it, well I didn't buy it, I didn't play it
Who thinks he's it…
Coz your eyes shine differently
I know what you're thinking instead of what you're saying
Coz your voice came out gently
I barely know what you're thinking let alone say it
You hypnotized me, you legalized it
You criticized me, I think I like it


Love me Love me
Just crush me baby
hit me beat me
just rock me baby
yes right now
right now all night


I'm telling you
I'm telling you...
