Boyfriend
Love's Twists: A Tale of Regret and Redemption in Harry Houlton's Melody
Lyrics
Do you wanna go to the cinema
Expressing a desire to go to the cinema.
I should have asked you that
Regret for not asking the listener earlier about going to the cinema.
But I was too scared of what you might say
Admission of fear and hesitation in expressing feelings.
And I don't want to spend anymore money
Reluctance to spend more money on disappointing dates.
On another disappointing date
Reflecting on past unsatisfactory dating experiences.
I wonder what your boyfriend would have said
Speculation about the reaction of the listener's boyfriend to their interactions.
If he knew what we did
Wondering if the boyfriend would be upset about their actions.
Would he be happy to pay
Contemplating the possibility of the boyfriend covering expenses.
Me a visit and cut off my bollocks and feed them to the dogs
Playfully imagining severe consequences if the boyfriend found out.
He never liked me anyway
Suggesting that the boyfriend never liked the speaker.
Let's hope you don't own up
Expressing a desire that the listener doesn't reveal their actions.
I want my balls on my body
Emphasizing a desire for personal integrity.
Let's hope you keep it up
Hoping the listener continues their behavior.
And I keep my blood inside me
Expressing a desire to avoid harm or negative consequences.
I wished for something more between us
Wishing for a deeper connection between the speaker and the listener.
But I'll play the coward
Admitting a reluctance to pursue a more meaningful relationship.
And try and date your best friend
Considering dating the listener's best friend as an alternative.
I don't see any issues with it
Asserting that there are no apparent issues with dating the best friend.
Well maybe it's a bit shit
Admitting potential challenges in the alternative relationship.
But got I need someone to hold
Expressing a need for emotional support and companionship.
All my belongings all of my baggage
Describing emotional baggage and a desire for someone to share it with.
Maybe if I'm magic
Playfully suggesting the use of magic to influence the best friend's perception.
I'll convince her that I'm not in love with you
Expressing a hope to convince the best friend that the speaker is not in love with the listener.
And then we'll live happily ever after
Desiring a happy ending with continued proximity to the listener.
And I'll still be close to you
Expressing a desire to remain emotionally close to the listener.
I'll still be close to yo o ouuuu
Repetition of the desire for emotional closeness.
Let's hope I don't own up
Reiterating the hope that the listener doesn't reveal their actions.
Shell pull my balls from my body
Imagining severe consequences if the truth is exposed.
Let's hope i keep it up
Expressing a hope to continue the current behavior.
And I keep my blood inside me
Reiterating the desire to avoid negative consequences.
Well now it's done between me and her
Announcing the end of the speaker's involvement with another person.
Maybe if we keep it on the low
Suggesting secrecy to make future advances.
I can make my moves
Expressing a desire to make romantic moves without interference.
But of course now you're dating my mate
Noting a complication: the listener is now dating the speaker's friend.
And we have the same name
Highlighting the coincidence of sharing the same name with the friend.
And I think that's pretty absurd
Expressing disbelief or irony in the situation.
But I've been acting a fool and since then I've proved
Admitting to foolish behavior and acknowledging personal flaws.
That that is what I am
Acceptance of self-perceived foolishness.
And all of my moping is holding me open
Acknowledging a tendency to dwell on negative emotions.
For this to happen again
Recognizing a pattern of self-sabotage and potential repetition of mistakes.
I guess I'm owning up
Admitting responsibility for past actions.
My balls are still on my body
Reiterating personal integrity and resilience.
And now I've lived this long
Reflecting on the passage of time and personal growth despite past mistakes.
I can say I acted badly
Acknowledging past mistakes and expressing regret.
