“Boy From Home” is about trying to get over someone by moving to a new city, but realizing you’re not truly over it whenever you go back home.
Brynn said of the song, via TikTok:
Something I’ve realized on the past couple years is that just because you’ve moved out doesn’t really mean you moved on...
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna leave this city
Go back to the place I called home
Back there, it gets messy
My shoes don't fit anymore
I can't handle the tight squeeze
They don't go with my outfit
I don't think I'm superior at all
Just think that I've grown out of it
[Pre-Chorus]
But this boy back at home
He sent a text on a Saturday night
He won't lay to rest what we had in July
I should want him dead, but I stayed by his side
Like all of my friends
[Chorus]
Oh, I hate to see this fake empathy
Don't apologize and throw it back at me
You and I both know, if it were anyone else
I'd send him to Hell in a minutе
But nobody wanted to listen
So herе I am, finally miles away
From a life I used to know
I wish that I didn't have tears down my face
Cryin' 'bout a boy from home
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna leave this city
End up in that basement again
He always threw the worst parties
The girls deemed as the audience
God forbid they let me in on the fun
Instead, I'm outside every joke
I'm afraid I've become the punch line
"The girl that can't let it go"
[Chorus]
Oh, I hate to see this fake empathy
Don't apologize and throw it back at me
You and I both know, if it were anyone else
I'd send him to Hell in a minute
But nobody wanted to listen
So here I am, finally miles away
From a life I used to know
Wish that I didn't have tears down my face
Cryin' 'bout a boy from home
[Bridge]
No, thanks, I'll stay here in New York with my
New friends, apartment, you don't cross my mind
These streets hold me tighter than you ever did
I have to admit
[Outro]
I don't wanna leave this city
I don't see your face in these crowds
When I recognized your cologne on the subway
I took the next station out

Been wondering what to do with this song for a while. Talked about it in therapy. Cried about it a lot, nervously played it a few times live. You are always so gentle and kind about it. I’m not sure how to tell the story behind this one… but today, I found the strength to post it online. Maybe all t...
Something I’ve realized in the past couple years is that just because you’ve moved out doesn’t really mean you moved on and I unfortunately really learned that the hard way, but I got a song out of it, so I guess that’s cool.

I always thought this would be a song I’d only ever play during the acoustic section of my live shows, but because of your kindness towards me and this story, I have found the strength to release the song… and a VIDEO, directed by me, out NOW too!! It’s my favorite video yet… definitely the most ins...
Written in my dorm room after two months living in New York, realizing I couldn’t just run away from the past, realizing I had to let myself feel the anger in order to get through it. This song is very, very, very close to my heart. I am so thankful for Adam Argyle and his patience in bringing it to...
