Boys Like Girls - She's Got A Boyfriend Now Lyrics

(Way, whoa-oh, be out of the way, whoa-oh)

We were seventeen and invincible
Had the world figured out and the girl on my shoulder
Told me everything's gonna be alright (whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright (whoa-oh)

Yeah maybe we were in high school
But you never see the ending when you're young and not pretending
Singing everything's gonna be alright (whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright

Buried her deep inside
Stars stuck in my eyes

And now she's got a boyfriend and I've got a rock band
Guess nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah, she's in Ohio and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows, 'cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she's got a boyfriend now

(Whoa-oh, be out of the way, whoa-oh)

Then I took a trip out to LA
For the girl with a smile that could take your breath away
I'm thinking everything's gonna be alright (whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright (whoa-oh)

Maybe I thought I could sweep in
And sweep her off her feet and go right back to Boston
Thinking everything's gonna be alright (whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright

The streets keep holding on
But now she's so far gone

And now she's got a boyfriend and I've got a rock band
Guess nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah, she's on the west coast and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows, 'cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she's got a boyfriend now

Take me back to you somehow
And everything that I know now it's so hard
I tore us apart
Take me back to feeling like the world
Would just keep dealing me the right cards
Now you're just so far

And I'm twenty-three and invincible
Got the world figured out and the bird on my shoulder
Told me everything's gonna be alright (whoa-oh)
And when is everything gonna be alright?

And now she's got a boyfriend and I've got a rock band
Guess nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah, she's in Ohio and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows, 'cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around, 'cause there she goes
I wish that I could press rewind somehow
But she's got a boyfriend now

(Whoa-oh, be out of the way, whoa-oh)
She's got a boyfriend now
(Whoa-oh, be out of the way, whoa-oh)
She's got a boyfriend now
Take your
(Whoa-oh, be out of the way, whoa-oh)
Take your breath breath breath away
I'll take your
(Whoa-oh, be out of the way, whoa-oh)
Take your breath breath breath away now
