This Boy's in Love
Presets (The) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stole the keys to the skies
We'll leave this place for the final time
No crying words, no goodbyes
Yes tonight we're burning all the tough times

Drown all the fears that we had
These are the things that we'll never understand
This time fight fire with fire
'Cause baby tonight the world belongs to you and I

This boy's in love, love
This boy's in love
(Under city, under city lights)

Don't tell the world what we've known
We've come so far but there's still a way to go
It's dark, there's no need for lights
When the fire in his eyes is so bright

This boy's in love, love
This boy's in love
(Under city, under city lights)

Tonight, turn out the lights
Don't wait, too late to die
Look out, hold on, hold tight
Tonight, all night I'm getting ready so

Love, love, love, love
This boy's in love

This town, these streets, your friends
You'll never see this place again
You'll think about it now and then
(Love)
You'll never see our face again
(This boy's in love)

Goodbye, this town, these streets, your friends
You'll never see this place again
You'll think about it now and then




(Love)
You'll never see our faces again

"This Boy's In Love"

I stole the keys to the skies
We'll leave this place for the final time
No crying words, no goodbyes
Yet tonight we're burning all the dark times

Drown all the fears that we had
These are the things that we'll never understand
This time, fight fire with fire
'Cause, baby, tonight the world belongs to you and I

This boy's in love, love
This boy's in love, under the city, under the city lights

Don't tell the world what we've known
We've come so far, but there's still a ways to go
It's dark; there's no need for light
When the fire in his eyes is so bright

This boy's in love, love
This boy's in love, under the city, under the city lights

Tonight, turn out the lights.
Don't wait, too late to die.
Look out, hold on, hold tight.
Tonight all night I'm getting ready so...

Love, love, love, love
This boy's in love...

This town, these streets, your friends, we'll never see this place again
They'll think about you now and then, they'll never see our faces again

Good-bye this town, these streets, your friends, we'll never see this place again
They'll think about you now and then, they'll never see our faces again

2014 has the shittest music in the top 10, it's all ego-heads with hiphop ranking high with their over-produced soul-less bullshit. this older music is the greater music.
