Your New Boyfriend
Wilbur Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life isn't quite what I thought I'd be
When I was a kid on VoIP
I thought when I get older
I'd marry her, I told her
Now I'm twenty-six and I work in an office
Nine 'til five's not the best, I'll be honest
If I could change a single thing
I'd make it me and not him

But he's in your bed, I'm in your Twitch chat
I've got the key and he's just a doormat
And even though he's got social skills
That doesn't mean I can't pay the bills
Anyway, make the most of him
'Cause she moves on pretty bloody quick, oh-oh
Your new boyfriend's an arsehole
(Woo)

Yeah, I've met Jared (of course, I've met Jared)
The one who took you away from me
You hit it off instantly
I know, 'cause you won't stop telling me
I've seen his jawline, shoulders, and muscles
Push against his fashion sense
I've thought about what he looks like nude
I'm not gay, though

'Cause she's living the dream (living the dream, living the dream)
Oh, she's living the dream
From back when we were seventeen
She's living the dream (living the dream, living the dream)
Oh, she's living the dream
From back when we were seventeen

How on earth could I be saved?
When I'm one click away from insane
I just think that I deserve
A little bit of what I earned
I'm not gonna make another scene
The one I made when I was twenty-three
Means I'm not allowed in Disney World

But he's in your bed and I'm in your Twitch chat
I've got the key and he's just a doormat
'Cause even though he's got social skills
That doesn't mean I can't pay the bills
Anyway, make the most of him
'Cause she moves on pretty bloody quick, oh-oh
Your new boyfriend's an arsehole

I think about you every day (every day)
So how on earth can I be saved? (can I be saved?)
I think about him a lot as well (I think about him)
Maybe if he wasn't fine as hell (he's really fine as hell)
'Cause you're beauty
And you're grace (and you're grace)
Your telephone calls are my favorite place
And I want you to notice me
With no restraining order, please (Jason Derulo)




Want you to care
Want to smell your hair

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wilbur Soot's song "Your New Boyfriend" talk about a man who is regretful of his life choices, which did not turn out as he anticipated them to be. The singer thought he would marry a girl he met on VoIP when he was a child, but now he is 26, working a 9 to 5 job, and still in love with her. The girl moved on, and she is now dating someone else who he thinks is not good enough for her, yet he continually talks with her in the Twitch chat. He laments over his life choices, and how he deserves a better life than he has, but he doesn't want to make a scene like he did three years back, which got him kicked out of Disney World. He thinks about the girl every day and wants her to notice him without a restraining order.


These lyrics are talking about a man who is stuck in the past and not willing to move on. He is envious of the girl's new boyfriend, whom he considers an "arsehole," and constantly reminds her of how much better he thinks he is than him. Despite his social shortcomings, the singer believes he can provide the girl with financial stability, even though she seems content with her current situation. The song allows the audience to reflect on how they perceive their lives and relationships, and to question whether they are stuck in the past like the singer.
