Be a Boy

Oh oh

Oh oh

When you're young you hope to be

Menacing in vanity

Six feet tall

Maybe more bigger now than before

They said it was leaving me

The magic was leaving me

I don't think so

I don't think so

They said it was leaving

They said it with joy

Now I could make this last forever

And be a boy and be a boy

When you're young

You hope to see

And carve your name into the street

About your words and satellites

That keep the wasted up tonight

They said it was leaving me

The magic was leaving me

I don't think so

I don't think so

They said it was leaving

They said it with joy

Now I could make this last forever

And be a boy and be a boy

There's safety in the jungle

If you treat her like a toy

Make sure you talk to strangers

And be a boy and be a boy be a boy

They said it was leaving me

The magic was leaving me

I don't think so

I don't think so

Oh oh

Oh oh

Oh oh oh

All the boys are gonna be someone

The time may come but now it's gone

The time may come

But now it's gone

It takes a big man

To be someone

All the boys are gonna be someone

The time may come

But now it's gone

The time may come

But now it's gone

Takes a big man

To be someone

I hope you read your lips once your life

And I own the streets that you want

Tonight your time may come

But it's long gone

It takes a big man to be someone

I'll help you read your lips once your life

And now I don't sleep alone

Tonight the time may come but it's long gone

It takes a big man to be someone oh oh oh
