I bit my tongue in the akward conversation
I don't know why, I don't know why
I met you once and I'd fallen for your notions
I don't know why, I don't know why
Do you believe that there's treasures in the ocean?
Did I say I'm just a boy?
One kiss from you and I'm drunk up on your potion
That big old smile is all you wore
Girl, you make me want to feel
The things I've never felt before
Girl, you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy?
Did I say I'm just a boy?
You hold me to that
No lonely hands grab my suitcase full of nothing
I don't know why, I don't know why
You took me in gave me something to believe in
That big old smile is all you wore
Girl, you make me want to feel
Things I never felt before
Girl, you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy?
Did I say I'm just a boy?
You can hold me to that
Girl, you make me want to feel
Things I've never felt before
Girl, you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy?
Did I say I'm just a boy?
You can hold me to that
I don't know why, I don't know why
I met you once and I'd fallen for your notions
I don't know why, I don't know why
Do you believe that there's treasures in the ocean?
Did I say I'm just a boy?
One kiss from you and I'm drunk up on your potion
That big old smile is all you wore
Girl, you make me want to feel
The things I've never felt before
Girl, you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy?
Did I say I'm just a boy?
You hold me to that
No lonely hands grab my suitcase full of nothing
I don't know why, I don't know why
You took me in gave me something to believe in
That big old smile is all you wore
Girl, you make me want to feel
Things I never felt before
Girl, you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy?
Did I say I'm just a boy?
You can hold me to that
Girl, you make me want to feel
Things I've never felt before
Girl, you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy?
Did I say I'm just a boy?
You can hold me to that

You can hold me to that.
lmfao.
Before playing the song, Angus introduced it and said it's about a girl he met at a music festival.
I can relate to that, I also became really infatuated with a girl from a music festival (Woodford Folk Festival). This song makes perfect sense for the situation I was in. Something about music festivals that draws you to wonderful people
It just occurred to me that maybe he lost his virginity to her.
Anyone?
this song is amazing and if it goes mainstream i think i might have to choke someone.
they need to come to the US, even though this place is pretty lame. they could spice it up.
i'm loving that harmonica part.
Bravo!!
this song is about a girl he met at a gig
and she had him like straight away
but it was like a one day thing
and never eventuated into anything more
it was just an infatuation
But I also think the main crux of the song is the title, "Just a Boy". As if being a boy, he can't but being infatuated. "You can hold me to that": his feelings won't last and are unreliable, but he's just a boy and what he's feeling now for her he can't help; he's totally sucked in.
