Lyrics

Trodden down the edges of your life
You quit drinking whiskey
Took yourself a wife
But if you're really honest
You still think from time to time
You would have chosen different
Had you ever mapped your life

But you were just a boy
In love
Your heart a broken compass
That your brain couldn't adjust
A boy in love
Just a boy in love

I don't think that you even meant here ill
The caverns in your heart
were impossible to fill
you cut a path right through
the lonely home you build
retreated deeper
now your dying on that hill

But you were just a boy
In love
Your heart a broken compass
That your brain couldn't adjust
A boy in love
hard to find true north
when that needle starts to rust
A boy in love
Just a boy in love
