I've Never Written a Song About a Boy
Unveiling My Melodic Journey Through Love and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
There's an old video on my mom's phone
There's a video from childhood on the mother's phone.
I must've been six or maybe seven years old
Reflecting on a memory from around age six or seven.
Telling her, "There's no way in hell I'm getting married
Expressing a strong aversion to marriage at a young age.
You're gonna have to drag me down the aisle"
Resistance to the idea of getting married.
I have memories of sitting at the TV
Recollection of being by the TV.
Thinking none of my friends think like me
Feeling different from friends regarding thoughts.
But they sure seem silly while they crush on the boys on screen
Noticing friends' interest in boys on TV while finding it silly.
I must've written 500 songs
Having written numerous songs.
Have callouses to prove it, just me and the music
Having callouses from playing music, indicating dedication.
But something always just felt wrong
Feeling something is missing in the music despite dedication.
Words without a tune, a wedding with a groom
Realization that previous songs lacked mention of boys.
Thеn I realized, I've nеver written one song about a boy
Not having composed any songs about boys.
Then I'm 13, walking with my friends down the hallway
Reaching the age of 13, walking with friends.
They're talking about the dance on Friday
Friends discussing an upcoming dance event.
Wondering which boy will ask them, but I don't even wanna go
Feeling disinterested in attending the dance.
And at 16, I'm wondering why I hate the movies
Questioning dislike for movies featuring romantic scenes.
Where some guy sweeps some girl off her feet
Conflicting feelings about romantic scenarios in movies.
But somewhere deep down, I think I know, 'cause
Internal recognition of personal feelings.
I must've written 500 songs
History of writing numerous songs.
Have callouses to prove it, just me and the music
Evidence of commitment to music through callouses.
But something always just felt wrong
Sense of something missing despite dedication to music.
Words without a tune, a wedding with a groom
Realization of absence of songs about boys.
Then I realized, I've never written one song about a boy
Acknowledging the absence of songs written about boys.
And oh-oh-oh, the world feels lighter now
Sensation of relief or lightness in the world.
I'm almost 20 and oh-oh-oh
Approaching the age of 20, perceiving a brighter world.
The world looks brighter now, now that I'm happy and
Feeling happier and observing the world positively.
My parents say it's nice to watch me look so free
Parental acknowledgment of newfound freedom and happiness.
And I think that I am finally me
Self-realization of becoming one's true self.
I must've written 500 songs
History of composing numerous songs.
Have callouses to prove it, just me and the music
Evidence of dedication to music through callouses.
But something always just felt wrong
Sense of something lacking despite commitment to music.
Words without a tune, a wedding with a groom
Realization of absence of songs about boys.
Then I realized, I've never written one song about a boy
Acknowledging the lack of songs written about boys.
