[Verse 1]
He said, "Come on, oh, what you waiting for?"
I think I waited a lifetime
Right up until that point (Uh-uh)
Oh, pretty boy (Pretty boy)
Who held the world in his hands
Swear I had gone anywhere, everywhere
To stay drunk on that face
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we're strangers in a bar, who'll be the first to go?
Time flies, a life unfolds
My reflection's saying different, but my memories don't feel old
I just wanna know
[Chorus]
Hey, where you been all this time?
If the end is near, we'd better make it count
Thought I'd lost you back then in a different life
Oh, I knew it then and there you'd live forever
In my mind, my mind, oh my mind
For all of my life, all my life
Oh my, my mind, oh my mind
For all of my life, all my life
[Verse 2]
And so it goes
You can't outrun getting old
That hidden place where hope lives
Well, that's the last to go (Uh-uh)
And so it goes (So it goes)
When nostalgia takes hold
And when you open the past up
You know I'd never say no
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we're strangers in a bar, who'll be the first to go?
Time flies, a life unfolds
My reflection's saying different, but my memories don't feel old
I just wanna know
[Chorus]
Hey, where you been all this time?
If the end is near, we'd better make it count
Thought I'd lost you back then in a different life
Oh, I knew it then and there you'd live forever
In my mind, my mind, oh my mind
For all of my life, all my life
Oh my, my mind, oh my mind
For all of my life, all my life
[Bridge]
So come on pretty boy
What are you waiting for?
So come on pretty boy
Oh, oh pretty boy
Ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Hey, where you been all this time?
If the end is near, we'd better make it count
Thought I'd lost you back then in a different life
Oh, I knew it then and there you'd live forever
In my mind, my mind, oh my mind
For all of my life, all my life
Oh my, my mind, oh my mind
For all of my life, all my life

‘Pretty Boy’ is a song about time. About making up for the time you’ve lost and what kind of future you’re hoping for. About choosing to be happy, in a way, and how you can remain connected to certain people and places without seeing them for the longest time. Right after it was written I knew it ha...
