Boyfriend
Yearning for Love: Best Coast's "Boyfriend" Unveiled
Lyrics
I wish he was my boyfriend
I desire for him to be my boyfriend.
I wish he was my boyfriend
Reiteration of the desire for him to be a boyfriend.
I'd love him to the very end
I would love him endlessly, but he remains just a friend.
But instead he's just a friend
Expressing disappointment that he is only a friend.
I wish he was my boyfriend
Reiteration of the desire for him to be a boyfriend.
There's nothing worse than sitting all alone at home
Expressing the unhappiness of being alone at home.
And waiting waiting waiting waiting by the phone
Highlighting the anticipation and impatience while waiting for a call.
I hope that he's at home
Expressing a hope that he is also at home waiting.
Waiting by his phone
Imagining him waiting by his phone.
I wonder if he knows
Wondering if he is aware of the desire for a relationship.
That I want him
Expressing the strong desire for him.
I wish he was my boyfriend
Reiteration of the desire for him to be a boyfriend.
I wish he was my boyfriend
-I'd love him to the very end but instead he's just a friend
Expressing love for him, but acknowledging he is just a friend.
I wish he was my boyfriend
Reiteration of the desire for him to be a boyfriend.
The other girl is not like me
Comparing oneself unfavorably to another girl.
She's prettier and skinnier
Describing the other girl as prettier and skinnier.
She has a college degree
Pointing out the other girl's achievements.
I dropped out when I was seventeen
Revealing a personal detail about dropping out of college.
If only I could get her out of the picture
Expressing a desire to remove the other girl from the situation.
Then he would know how much I want him
Believing that if the other girl is out of the picture, he would know the depth of the desire.
One day I'll make him mine
Anticipating a future where he becomes hers.
And we'll be together all the time
Envisioning a future where they are together constantly.
We'll sit and watch the sun rise
Imagining moments of intimacy like watching the sunrise together.
And gaze into each others eyes
Describing a romantic connection through gazing into each other's eyes.
And know that he knows
Emphasizing the mutual understanding of desire between them.
I know that he knows
Reiteration of the mutual awareness of the desire for a relationship.
That he wants to be my boyfriend
Expressing the hope that he wants to be her boyfriend.
Boyfriend
Repetition of the desire for a boyfriend.
Boyfriend

-I'd love him to the very end
Reiteration of the love for him, but acknowledging the friendship.
But instead he's just a friend
Expressing disappointment that he remains just a friend.
