Lyrically influenced by those times when you simply don't want to commit yourself to being someone's boyfriend. Girls this applies to y'all too.
"Tom and I sat down and just jammed in my basement one day and this song came out. It felt really organic because we don't usually write like that. The grooves in this song are awesome and I think it turned out that way because of the way it was written." - Dustin Dopsa
lyrics
You were different today so don’t blame me for your sorrow.
Don’t expect me to be there for tomorrow.
You’re not so damn perfect but you haven’t wrecked it yet.
I’m not your boyfriend, no I’m not your boyfriend.
There was a time, when you were all mine.
Woah, Ah-Oh. Woah, Ah-Oh.
Tempting lips, inviting kiss were all mine.
Softest touch and nothing but you and I, you were all mine.
Woah, Ah-Oh. Woah, Ah-Oh.
I’m calling won’t you come free me.
Oh Holly, I have lied.
I’m calling won’t you come free me.
Oh Holly, I have lied.
You were different today so don’t blame me for your sorrow.
Don’t expect me to be there for tomorrow.
You’re not so damn perfect but you haven’t wrecked it yet.
I’m not your boyfriend, no I’m not your boyfriend.
How many times, did you show me a sign.
Woah, Ah-Oh. Woah, Ah-Oh.
That you loved me, and too blind to see oh I was.
I wrote the book, and every hook but I didn’t take the time to read; my own lines.
Woah, Ah-Oh. Woah, Ah-Oh.
I’m calling won’t you come free me.
Oh Holly, I have lied.
I’m calling won’t you come free me.
Oh Holly, I have lied.
You were different today so don’t blame me for your sorrow.
Don’t expect me to be there for tomorrow.
You’re not so damn perfect but you haven’t wrecked it yet.
I’m not your boyfriend, no I’m not your boyfriend.
Woah, Ah-Oh. Woah, Ah-Oh.
Woah, Ah-Oh. Woah, Ah-Oh.
Cause I’m not your boyfriend.
