"We saw the summer night,
We drank down the sober sky
Left our mark into the concrete
Burned up all our tires sleeping
Words flow as we are fading
Watch the canvas become our painting
Not all roads lead to Rome
'Cause this one leads to the hell back home"
-This part makes me think of touring ("burned up all our tires sleeping" - sleeping in the van)
But maybe it's about coming home from tour ("'cause this one leads to the hell back home")
"Oh, oh, ooh, this is what we do"
-Makes me think of the title "Boys Will Be Boys"
Like, that's just how they are, they can't help it
"You can say, it's wasted ignorance.
But we're okay, just living in the wreckage."
-Ignorance is bliss, maybe?
"Don't you get the wrong impression
It's just business with the worst intentions"
-This one confuses me. Maybe trying to say it's not as bad as you think it is?
"We felt the floor fall out
And, well, I guess it's too late now
Guess we'll just count our losses
Fix it no matter what the cost is"
-Basically, something went wrong, and it's "too late now" to go back and fix it, so they just have to work on it from where they already are.
"Lie down with a view
Fell asleep ontop of the roof
Remember when the sky turned orange
Or was it black the night before?"
-Not sure about this part. It just kind of sounds like reminiscing, but I'm sure the part about the sky being orange or black means something.
Maybe it's going back to the line about ignorance, where he's ignoring the fact that something's wrong?
As a whole, I think this song is about running away from your problems, and the title "Boys Will Be Boys" is basically saying, it's what he does, it's how he is.

Do you think it could of been... drugs? Im not saying they do drugs, but it reminds of a third eye blind lyric.
