Boys Like Girls - Biography : Boston-based emo-pop turned country-tinged pop outfit
Boys Like Girls features
Singer/Guitarist Martin Johnson, Bassist Bryan Donahue, Drummer John Keefe, and
Guitarist Paul DiGiovanni (the last two members being cousins). After Boys Like Girls posted several demo recordings online, the band's lively hooks and youthful enthusiasm had garnered them quite a following by 2005's end, while also catching the attention of industry players like booking agent
Matt Galle (My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday) and Producer
Matt Squire (Panic! At The Disco, Northstar), both of whom contacted the band about working together. Following a national Purevolume-sponsored tour with
Hit The Lights and
A Thorn For Every Heart, Boys Like Girls entered the studio with Matt Squire to record their debut album. The resulting
Self-Titled effort appeared in August 2006 on Red Ink. Although initial sales were slow, the album eventually went gold, and tracks like
"Thunder" helped Boys Like Girls maintain a presence on the Billboard Charts throughout 2008. Following the release of a DVD,
Read Between The Lines, the band returned to the recording studio to commence work on a second album, which appeared in 2009 under the title
Love Drunk. The record included a duet with
Taylor Swift, and featured slick, radio-friendly production. Two years later, the band announced it had parted ways with Bassist
Bryan Donahue. In late 2012, Boys Like Girls released the Crazy World EP, the followed it up with the
Crazy World LP. Both releases showed the group, now with new Bassist
Morgan Dorr, casting off any vestiges of emo-pop in favor of a new country-pop approach.
Paper bags and Plastic hearts
All are belongings In shopping carts, It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and Ride around, And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right
Throw it Away, Forget Yesterday. We'll Make the Great Escape
We Won't Hear a Word They Say, They Don't Know Us Anyway
Watch it Burn, Let it Die. 'Cause We are Finally Free Tonight
Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be By your side, We'll cry
We won't give up the fight
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think it's just 'Cause we're young
And We'll feel so alive
Throw it Away, Forget Yesterday. We'll Make the Great Escape
We Won't Hear a Word They Say, They Don't Know Us Anyway
Watch it Burn, Let it Die. 'Cause We are Finally Free Tonight
All of the wasted time, The hours that were left behind
The answer that We'll never find, They don't mean a thing tonight
Throw it away, Forget yesterday. We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say, They don't know us anyway
Throw it Away, Forget Yesterday. We'll Make the Great Escape
We Won't Hear a Word They Say, They Don't Know Us Anyway
Throw it Away, Forget Yesterday. We'll Make the Great Escape
We Won't Hear a Word They Say, They Don't Know Us Anyway
Watch it Burn, Let it Die. 'Cause We are Finally Free Tonight.
Top down in the summer sun, The day We met was like a hit and run
And I still taste it on my tongue Taste It On My Tongue
The sky was burning up like fireworks, You made me want you Oh so bad it hurt
But Girl, In case you haven't heard
I Used to be Love Drunk, But Now I'm Hung Over
I'll Love You Forever, Forever is Over
We Used to Kiss All Night, Now It's just a Bar Fight
So Don't call me crying, Say Hello to Goodbye
'Cause Just one sip, Would make me sick
I Used to be Love Drunk, But Now I'm Hung Over
I'll Love You Forever, But Now it's Over
Hot sweat and Blurry eyes, We're spinning round a rollercoaster ride
The world, Stuck in black and white Stuck In Black And White
You drove me crazy every time We touched
Now I'm so broken that I can't get up
Oh Girl, You make me such a lush
I Used to be Love Drunk, But Now I'm Hung Over
I'll Love You Forever, Forever is Over
We Used to Kiss All Night, Now It's just a Bar Fight
So Don't call me crying, Say Hello to Goodbye
'Cause Just one sip, Would make me sick
I Used to be Love Drunk, But Now I'm Hung Over
I'll Love You Forever, But Now it's Over
All the Time I wasted on You
All the Bullshit You put me through
Checking into Rehab 'Cause everything that We had
Didn't mean a thing to You
I used to be love drunk, But now I'm hung over
I'll love you forever, But now I'm sober
I Used to be Love Drunk, But Now I'm Hung Over
I'll Love You Forever, Forever is Over
We Used to Kiss All Night, Now It's just a Bar Fight
So Don't call me crying, Say Hello to Goodbye
'Cause Just one sip, Would make me sick
I Used to be Love Drunk, But Now I'm Hung Over
I'll Love You Forever, But Now it's Over
Now it's Over, Can taste it on my tongue
Now it's Over.
