about
This song blends playful guitar driven pop with retro and lo-fi elements and a soaring topline - not as risque as the title suggests, and more an underlyingly sad song than anything.
As we all tend to do at some point or another, I went through a long period of seeing other people solely to try and get over an ex. It’s safe to say, it didn’t help and left me feeling quite hollow afterwards every time. It’s something I experienced on both sides, a worrying amount of times - I’d be telling someone I don’t want anything serious, and they’d say the same, and then for some twisted reason, we’d end up talking about our exes. Feelings are weird.
‘i wanna kiss boys cos i’m bored’ explores the concept of those kind of rebound relationships in a bit of cheeky and tongue-in-cheek way, and how they really (unfortunately) do not work for me.
lyrics
Seems like forever since he’s been gone
But I could be better when I’m alone
12:59 and pick up my phone
Oh cause if I’m honest, I’m getting bored
I’m on the mend from the kind of hurt that’s man made
And you have become my new favourite kind of bandaid
If we get together, don’t be offended
I don’t need a boyfriend, I don’t need your name, yeah
I just wanna kiss you cause I’m bored again
If we get together, don’t be offended
I don’t wanna be another someone’s girlfriend
I just wanna kiss you cause I’m bored again
Don’t need to discuss it - straight to the point
Don’t need your ‘what ifs’, hate to disappoint
7:00am and make you drive home
Cause if I’m honest, I’ve been here before
I’m on the mend from the kind of hurt that’s man made
And you have become my new favourite kind of bandaid
If we get together, don’t be offended
I don’t need a boyfriend, I don’t need your name, yeah
I just wanna kiss you cause I’m bored again
If we get together, don’t be offended
I don’t wanna be another someone’s girlfriend
I just wanna kiss you cause I’m bored again
I can see us on the sofa
Watch you watch me till 5am
I should warn you that my mother
Doesn’t know that I snuck you in
When he told me it was over
I couldn’t get out of bed
I’ve been looking for some closure
These boys are just my best pretend
