Lost Boy
Jaden Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was a lost boy
I was a lost boy in my room
Out of the shadows
Out of the shadows in my room
Into the shadown
Into the shadow in my room
Too much to handle in my room
I lit a candle
I lit a candle in my room
Too much to handle
Too much to handle on my own
I was a lost boy
I was a lost boy in my room
Out of the contents
Out of the contents in my room
You're all alone
Does she love you, you'll never know
Our love virtues, forever on
'Til she kills my soul
You're all that I'll know
You're all alone
Does she love you, you'll never know
Our love virtues, forever on
'Til she kills my soul
You're all that I'll know
I was a lost boy
I was a lost boy in my room
Out of the shadows
Out of the shadows in my room
Too much to handle
Too much to handle in my room
I lit a candle
I lit a candle in my room
It's all lost
Cigarettes smoke spark in the dark
Baby girl, I worry about you, you never talk
I guess that's the way
I guess that's the way
You're all alone
Does she love you, you'll never know
I'll love her 'til forever on
'Til she kills my soul
You're all that I'll know
You're all alone
Does she love you, you'll never know
I'll love her 'til forever on
'Til she kills my soul
You're all that I'll know
I was a lost boy
I was a lost boy in my room
Out in the shadows
Out in the shadows in my room
Into the shadow
Into the shadow in my room
Too much to handle
Too much to handle
Oh boy, you're lost now
Voices in your head gone now
I heard you and so-and-so had a falling out
What was that about?
Something happened, then she shot him down
Just be happy that she not around
Boy, you not a hero, you a problem child
What type of fire have you started now
That was all your homies, that was not a crowd
Always walking round, head up in the clouds
Keep me humble, baby, sit me down
It's all lost
Sitting around and we're all waiting for the dark
Cigarettes smoke, lights, see the sparks
I'll save your soul
I'm trapped in my room
You're all alone
Does she love you, you'll never know
Our love virtues, forever on
'Til she kills my soul
You're all that I'll know
I'm all alone
Why can't you just call my phone
I'm here, girl, just come on home
My secrets you'll never know
Why are you so incredible?
Why can't I be eligible?
Did that shit, because I'm telling untold
Yeah and I'll go
I was a lost boy
I was a lost boy in my room
I'm just a lost boy
I'm just a lost boy
I hear there's a love for us
I know there's a love for us
I know you're onto shit
I know you're by yourself
I know there's a love for us
For all our accomplishments
This is beyond our sin
I do not want this shit
I was lost boy, I do not got a choice
I couldn't hear at all
But that is my voice
You're gonna go and say
That you don't wanna talk
I don't wanna fight with you
Just wanna spend the night with you
Syre died in the sunset, don't be like him
Man, that's where the story ends, but it also begins
He's building pyramids, he's getting serious
Until he drove himself delirious, like are you hearing this
This ain't an outer body conversation about conspiracists
Even though I may appear as this
See, Syre grew a tear in his eye
Because the summer's too bright for his spirit in the night
There's a python in the pyramids
Look, this is for the kids feeling lost
Sleep on the street, eating the moss
I don't got no more teeth in my jaws 'cause I ripped them out
I'm sick of killing innocents at large
This is for the kids feeling lost
Msfts got you at all costs, yelling fuck 'em all
We hold each other, we never fall
It's us versus the all
From the cats to the dogs forever
Yeah, yeah
I let that one rock
I let that one rock
This that bonus track, this the bonus
All my favorite albums used to have the bonus track, you know what I'm saying?
