About boy

"Boy" was the first song Killers frontman Brandon Flowers wrote after they had to cancel the Imploding The Mirage tour because of the pandemic. It taps into his adolescence in the rural Utah town of Nephi. When Flowers wrote "Boy", he'd recently moved back to Utah and started to make trips to Nephi. "I found that the place I had wanted to get away from so desperately at 16 was now a place that I couldn't stop returning to. I have a son approaching the age I was at that time in my life. .

boy Lyrics

[00:07.28] Just give yourself some time
[00:14.63] Head down
[00:18.05] Wrong fit
[00:21.77] Big deal
[00:25.63] That's just growin' up
[00:29.33] Untouched
[00:32.95] Sixteen
[00:34.93] Don't overthink it, boy
[00:40.49] White arrows will break
[00:44.28] The black night
[00:50.00] But don't overthink it, boy
[00:59.44] And when you're out on a ledge
[01:02.74] Please come down, boy
[01:06.73] There is a place that exists
[01:10.01] Just give it some time
[01:17.94] Drawn arrows unseen will fly
[01:25.62] Heat wave
[01:29.26] The slow lane
[01:33.01] A small town
[01:35.80] Only diesels dance
[01:40.60] These streets
[01:44.16] Weren't meant to house
[01:46.77] Jet fuel engine dreams
[01:51.92] White arrows will blast
[01:55.45] The black night
[01:59.20] And when you're out on a ledge
[02:02.73] Please come down, boy
[02:06.66] There is a place that exists
[02:09.96] Just give it some time
[02:16.95] Oh, drawn arrows unseen will fly
[02:24.00] And break the black night
[02:31.01] But don't overthink it, boy
[02:39.02] Boy
