Be A Boy
When you’re young you hope to beMenacing in vanity6 feet tall, maybe moreBigger now than before
They said it was leaving meThe magic was leaving meI don’t think soI don’t think so
They said it was leavingThey said it went onNow I could make this last foreverAnd be a boy, and be a boy
When you’re young you hope to seeAnd carve your name into the streetBout your words of satellitesThat keep the wasted up tonight
They said it was leaving meThe magic was leaving meI don’t think soI don’t think so
They said it was leavingThey said it went onNow I could make this last foreverAnd be a boy, and be a boy
There’s safety in the jungleIf you treat it like a toyMake sure you talk to strangersAnd be a boy, and be a boy
Be a boy
They said it was leaving meThe magic was leaving meI don’t think soI don’t think so
All of the boys are gonna be someoneThe time you caught but it was goneThe time you caught but it was goneIt takes a big man to be someone
All of the boys are gonna be someoneThe time you caught but it was goneThe time you caught but it was goneIt takes a big man to be someone
I’m half your age and lived twice your lifeAnd hide on streets, you walk tonightThe time you caught but it’s not mineIt takes a big man to be someone
I’m half your age and lived twice your lifeAnd I don’t sleep alone tonightThe time you caught but it’s not mineIt takes a big man to be someone
