Lyrics James TW – Boys

We were 13 years old when you started comin’ over
Told each other everything, we kept getting closer
You’d talk about the boys and I’d give you my advice
And you’d tell me what to say to all of the girls I like

But when I saw you get close to him
Then I knew it was serious
Something inside of me lit up a fire
Can’t help if something’s changed

I guess boys and girls try to pretend
They’re not catching feelings when they’re catching feelings
I guess boys and girls just can’t be friends
Without catching feelings
‘Cause I’m catching feelings

We turned 16 years old and you asked the question
Don’t you want something more, the deeper connection?
I saw what it meant to you but didn’t know what to say
We had so much to lose but I kissed you anyway

Started losing our innocence
And things got too serious
Something inside of you lit up a fire
Can’t help if something’s changed

I guess boys and girls try to pretend
They’re not catching feelings when they’re catching feelings
I guess boys and girls just can’t be friends
Without catching feelings
‘Cause you’re catching feelings

Now we’re 18 years old and you barely come over
‘Cause while I’m with someone new, you’re still finding closure
And all I can do is think, why did we have to lose?
‘Cause us in the early days was my favorite me and you

I guess boys and girls (I guess boys and girls)
Oh, boys and girls (All the boys and girls)
They’re catching feelings (They’re catching feelings)
They’re catching feelings, oh
I guess boys and girls (I guess boys and girls)
Just can’t be friends (They just can’t be friends)
Without catching feelings (Without catching feelings)
‘Cause we’re catching feelings

Without catching feelings
‘Cause we’re catching feelings
