Nice Boy
The Juliana Theory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're just another pretty girl who wants in my hand
When I saw you on Monday
You told me you loved me
And everything was gonna be okay
Then you called and said
I wanna live without you
I'm sorry things had to turn out this way
I'm sorry things turned out this way
I guess I'm too nice of a boy to make a girl like you stay
You thought I always laid around
Sit in my room with all the lights off, not a sound
Well, you were wrong
When I saw you on Monday
You told me you loved me
And everything was gonna be okay
Then you called and said
You really don't love me
I wanna live without you
I'm sorry things had to turn out this way
I'm sorry things turned out this way
I guess I'm too nice of a boy to make a girl like you stay
A girl like you stay (x7 altogether)
I guess I'm too nice of a boy to make a girl like you stay
The Juliana Theory's "Nice Boy" is a song about a relationship that has gone awry. The singer has been hurt by his significant other who he once thought loved him, but then revealed that she does not. He admits that he is "too nice of a boy" to make her stay, implying that he is perhaps too accommodating and not assertive enough in the relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been underestimated and misunderstood by his partner, who thought he was lazy and unproductive, but in reality, he has been actively pursuing his own interests and not just waiting around for her.
The song captures the experience of being in a relationship with someone who does not appreciate or understand you, and feeling trapped by your own kindness and vulnerability. The lyrics are simple and direct, but the melody is catchy and upbeat, creating an interesting contrast that makes you want to dance while also feeling the heartache of the singer. Overall, "Nice Boy" is a relatable and emotionally impactful song that speaks to the struggles of young love and the difficulties of navigating a relationship.
