Project Ryxn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
West coast islands,
I was not lyin′ when I said you the one for me
Backseats wildin'
Cocaine cryin′
Nightmares about the promises you said to me
Forget 'bout your boyfriend
I'll be your boyfriend
Forget ′bout your girlfriend. I'll be your boyfriend
I′ll give you my heart if you promise to hold it
Call you up and tell you nothin'
I′m doin' fine
But the truth is that I know that I could use you tonight
Wishin′ I could hold you now is how I'm spendin' my time
And all these other girls ain′t shit, my girl your one of a kind.
Ooh wow oh
Jumpsuit, Thailand,
West coast islands,
I was not lyin′ when I said you the one for me
Backseats wildin'
Cocaine cryin′
Nightmares about the promises you said to me
Forget 'bout your boyfriend
I′ll be your boyfriend
I'll give you my heart if you promise to hold it
Forget ′bout your girlfriend. I'll be your boyfriend
I'll give you my heart if you promise to hold it
Feelin′ touched cause I′m livin' on my own now
And I never love a bitch, she a hoe now
Yeah the boys, yeah they tell me not to next you
So I got to sneak and do it in the restroom
I′m sorry, I can't be, what you need, you can put,
That on me, really thought, I could be, I′m sorry
Jumpsuit, Thailand,
West coast islands,
I was not lyin' when I said you the one for me
Backseats wildin′
Cocaine cryin'
Nightmares about the promises you said to me
Forget 'bout your boyfriend
I′ll be your boyfriend
I′ll give you my heart if you promise to hold it
Forget 'bout your girlfriend. I′ll be your boyfriend
I'll give you my heart if you promise to hold it.
The lyrics to Project Ryxn's song "Boyfriend" are about a man who is confessing his love to a woman who is currently in a relationship with someone else. He talks about their adventures in Thailand, specifically on the west coast islands and how he knows that she is "the one." He mentions wild nights in the backseat of a car and moments where she cried over cocaine. Despite these wild times, he also talks about the promises she made to him in her nightmares.
The chorus of the song talks about forgetting her current boyfriend and how he will be her new lover. He promises to give her his heart, but only if she promises to hold it. He talks about the other girls not being enough and how she is one of a kind. He also mentions feeling alone and wishing he could hold her, despite telling her he is fine. The verse then continues talking about how he is living alone now and how he never loved anyone else, except for her. He acknowledges that his friends tell him to move on, but he can't help feeling the way he does. The verse ends with him apologizing, saying that he can't be what she needs, and that he's sorry.
Overall, the song tells a story of a complicated relationship, with both parties feeling strong emotions towards each other but unable to be together because of outside forces. It's a tale of wanting what you can't have and holding onto hope for something that might never be.
