How I Met Your Mother
The Friday Night Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heard you say
You're too good for me
When you got dumped to called me over
It blew my head
Never wanted me
Now you left the keys
Through the dark and up the stairs
I can hardly breathe
Waited all my life
For this kiss tonight
Sneaking out your window now
There is only one way out
The grass is so far down
My pants are falling to the ground

Regret it, forget it
How I met your mother now
Sneaking out
We're naked now
In the dark out lips connect

Then I knew
Too good to be true
Those green eyes they turn to blue
Realize it wasn't you
Waited all my life
Then it crashed tonight
Sneaking out your window now
There is only one way out
The grass is so far down
My pants are falling to the ground

Regret it, forget it
How I met your mother
And you ran into the room
You scream and didn't know what to do

I never dreamed this how we'd be
One day I hope you forgive me
So tell me
Now who's laughing?
Heard you say
You're too good for me
Now your mom just picked me up in her escalade
Sneaking out your window now
There is only one way out
The grass is so far down
My pants are falling to the ground

Regret it, forget it




How I met your mother
How I met your mother now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Friday Night Boys's song "How I Met Your Mother" narrates a story of a boy who had been waiting for a chance to be with the girl he had long been in love with. He had always been told that the girl was too good for him, but the girl's recent breakup gave him an opportunity to be with her. He sneaks into her house, goes up the stairs, and sees the girl; he can hardly breathe as he realized that the moment he had waited for all his life was finally here. They kiss and are now naked together in the dark. He believed that everything will be fine, but then he realized that it wasn't the girl he had been in love with.


The boy had mistaken the girl's identity; he thought he was with his long-time crush when he was, in reality, with her mother. The song ends with the girl's mother picking him up in her Escalade, and he is left with the realization that he might have lost his chance with his real crush forever. The song is about missed chances and mistaken identities; it touches on how sometimes what we think is right for us might not exactly be what we need.
