Boys
Midnight Fall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen up, listen up, and I'll tell you all about the chances I have taken
she appreciates the songs I've written
and every single chance I get to play them out on stage, I take it
every word I am spitting
was carefully calculated and put together
with the melody that flew from my chest
now sing out loud
please clap along to the beat now
b-o-y-s h-a-v-e f- double e-l-i-n-g-s too
now that you get it
I guess I was forgetting
that she wishes she could care
scream out if you want it
I know that you need this
like you need air
now that I have found time to breathe
and fully grasp the circumstances
I found out
that all I need
is less than I wanted
now that you get it
I guess I was forgetting
that she wishes she could care
scream out if you want it
I know that you need this
like you need air
slow down now
breathe in deep
pick me up if youre entirely sure that you want it
becuase I know that I do
if you keep changing your side
inside this situation
I wont know where to aim
if you could make up your mind anytime now I'd appreciate it




but if you cant then I'll be on my way
b-o-y-s h-a-v-e f- double e-l-i-n-g-s too

I discovered boys of fall on spotify last year. Added every song to my playlist and couldn't get enough! This new album is perfection and cant wait to here more!

Joshua Urteaga

How can a band be so good but so underrated. These guys are gonna blow up soon 👌

Boys of Fall

Underdogs forever and always

You'd be surprised how many bands pour everything into an album, and then one up themselves every time thereafter, but never really take off or get picked up by somebody because they won't sell out. Happens all the time
