Boys Will Be Boys Video (MV)

When I was a little boy, I would line end to end down the hallway my toys
Most other kids would run through adjacent backyards in the late summer sun
An age that can be so unkind, nothing left undefined
You're ahead or behind
At sixteen, he came into frame
A new player in the game
We traded screen names

September breeze, and we're flying from swing sets
We laugh on the phone, and we sing in my car
We trade our best thoughts, no take-backs allowed
It's my senior year, so
On his mark, get set, go
And boys will be boys
Running fast as they can

When the last summer storm had dried, we began carving plans in the sands of low tide
Selecting a college town, we drank the rest of our lives and we giggled it down
The levels got harder and still, we were racing downhill
HIs promise, my will
Surprised that we made it this far
On a cannonball star
No one knows where we are

It was chilly and dim when I first said I loved him
He said 'I love you too,' and I told him, 'I know'
The treasure was struck, or the hunted was felled
Knock the first domino
In a single-take show
Where boys will be boys
Running fast as they can

A predecessor of mine was better known as electricice79
Starting changing the moment when he said 'I don't want to talk to you ever again'
Police wrote out rules that were plain, stay away, don't explain
Stop spreading the stain
I made my way back to before
Watching waves climb the shore
And erased my high score

A decade has passed since that morning came breaking
I set out for gold and found sand in his eyes
My hand on his heart, his breath on my braces
Trap the fox, cage the hound
In this unmarked battleground
Where boys will be boys
Running fast as they can
