The Boy's Gone Lyrics

Cover art for The Boy's Gone lyrics by Jason Mraz

I think the song is about dying (reflecting on death), and how everyone will eventually and when you do you do it alone. I think someone died and it caused him to think about how he lives his life and he is encouraging people to live well and appriciate life. He probably believes in God and being a good person, but that doesn't mean he's really religious. I've never heard him speak about it and he's a pretty open guy, so if his faith or religion was an important part of his life I think he would talk about. I see him more believing that he should be a good person.
