Boomerang
The Summer Set Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We could rock the nation like they do
And if I was Da Vinci, you'd be Mona Lisa
Paint a smile perfectly on you
And if I was James Dean, you could be my Audrey
Breakfast at Tiffany's for two
So throw me away
'Cause if I were a boomerang
Back back to you you, yeah yeah
You you yeah yeah
If you want to, we'll take the world by storm
Show you places you've never been before
La, New York, what are you waiting for?
Drop him, take me, 'cause I love you more
If I was Jay-Z, you'd be my Beyonce
We could rock the nation like they do
And if I was Da Vinci, you'd be Mona Lisa
Paint a smile perfectly on you
And if I was James Dean, you could be my Audrey
Breakfast at Tiffany's for two
So throw me away
'Cause if I were a boomerang
I'd turn around and come back to you
Back back to you you, yeah yeah
You you, yeah yeah
Let's pop champagne, fake like we're billionaires
Just you and me, ain't much but we don't care
You look (you look) so good (so good), I love when people stare
You on (you on) my arm (my arm), tryin' to keep you there
If I was Jay-Z, you'd be my Beyonce
We could rock the nation like they do
And if I was Da Vinci, you'd be Mona Lisa
Paint a smile perfectly on you
And if I was James Dean, you could be my Audrey
Breakfast at Tiffany's for two
So throw me away
'Cause if I were a boomerang
I'd turn around and come back to you
Back back to you you, yeah yeah
You you, yeah yeah
You you, yeah yeah
You you, yeah yeah
Doesn't matter what you do

The singer compares himself to famous icons, imagining the love between them if he and his love interest were those people. He compares himself to Jay-Z and Da Vinci, imagining his love interest as a smiling Mona Lisa and his relationship with her as iconic as Jay-Z and Beyonce. Similarly, he compares his love interest to Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's and envisions a perfect date.
The chorus of the song includes the titular metaphor of the boomerang - the singer imagines himself as a boomerang that always returns to his love interest even if discarded and thrown away. He is determined to stay devoted to her through any circumstance, hoping she will eventually choose him over her current partner. The bridge repeats the theme of his steadfast devotion, assuring her that he will always be there for her no matter what she does or says.
Overall, "Boomerang" is a simple and straightforward song that captures the bittersweet feelings of crushing on someone who is already taken. It's a relatable and catchy tune that encapsulates the power of infatuation and the desire for love and acceptance.

This sounds like one of those background songs in one of those Disney movies from the early 2000s that everyone loves. Possibly starring Lindsay Lohan 😂
