Boys You Won't Lyrics
Boys you won't remember
From the minute
You walked into the room
Every letter started broken-hearted
And ended way too soon
Lived through underrated
Getting jaded
To wind up with no one
Hiding in new places
Getting wasted
Singing "I guess we're done"
And I don't want you to wonder why
I don't want you to wonder why
It won't do any good
You don't know what you got into
Until you know when it's all gone wrong
And I don't feel the need to try and explain
Excuses sounding the same
You're gonna find
You're gonna find that
I've been let down
But I stood up
Dead off of the ground
But I stood up
Lost without a sound
But I stood up
To face another round
But I stood up
And you want me, you want me
Don't know what you got on me
And even then, just you wait and see
And I don't feel the need to try and explain
Excuses sounding the same
You're gonna find
You're gonna find that
I've been let down
But I stood up
Dead off of the ground
But I stood up
Lost without a sound
But I stood up
To face another round
But I stood up
And you want me, you want me
From the minute
You walked into the room
Every letter started broken-hearted
And ended way too soon
Getting jaded
To wind up with no one
Hiding in new places
Getting wasted
Singing "I guess we're done"
I don't want you to wonder why
It won't do any good
You don't know what you got into
Until you know when it's all gone wrong
Excuses sounding the same
You're gonna find
You're gonna find that
But I stood up
Dead off of the ground
But I stood up
Lost without a sound
But I stood up
To face another round
But I stood up
And you want me, you want me
And even then, just you wait and see
Excuses sounding the same
You're gonna find
You're gonna find that
But I stood up
Dead off of the ground
But I stood up
Lost without a sound
But I stood up
To face another round
But I stood up
And you want me, you want me

uderrated song by and underrated band
i adore this song. it think it means guys are too god damn insensitive </3
the lyrics aren't finished
I completely agree with rockbassart that they're underrated and so is this song
Wrens being self-referential. Most of this album is about how they fought back tooth-and-nail to keep their artistic integrity. This is about their fight to make a name for themselves, it seems. Time after time they're forgotten, these "Boys you won't remember", and many times "they're knocked down" but they keep going, trying to make a name for themselves.
Consdidering that this song is the evolution of a good, snarky breakup song (Miss Me) I doubt it's self-referential, at least not regarding artistic integrity. Same melody, similar in many respects, but where Miss Me was defiant as all hell, this one comes off as whiny.
ah you messed up my favorite line "hiding in new places getting wasted singing i guess we're done"
