Hey guys! I've strayed away from the 70s thing because I'm really in to 80s pop and new wave at the moment, so this is an homage to that.
This is a song about being a gay teenager, and having a close friend who is also gay, but not being able to act on those feelings because you are both uncomfortable/embarrassed and not ready. It's autobiographical but the name of the boy has been changed for obvious reasons.
Thank you in advance for listening.
Lyrics:
Billy
I know you feel like you're losing touch with the world around you
Put your milkshake down, let's drive around
Billy
I've never seen you smile as much as you smiled the day that the snow came
The snow fell on your face and you always used to hate this place
But now I know you don't
What can you say about Billy?
It's Billy, every time I look up
I don't want to let you down
Billy
What would your parents say if they found us down at the arcade?
Billy, keep your t-shirt on and laugh along
To my jokes
I'll sneak over Saturday and teach you to play the guitar
Every time you look at me it's easy to see you don't care about the chords
What can you say about Billy?
It's Billy, every time I look up
I don't want to let you down
He caught the snowflakes on his tongue
I had to run
And Billy told me once
He told me twice
Do this and you carry it with you for the rest of your life
He told me once
He told me twice
Do this and you carry it with you for the rest of your life
For the rest of your life
For the rest of your life
