Vance Joy - Little Boy Lyrics

The song I’m pretty sure was first recorded on a guitalele, does anybody know the chords he used for this song?

🥺❤️

You're the best trust me❤❤❤

my brother waits for me in the next room, I'll be leaving here soon.

This comforts my inner little boy. Poor kid's still lonely, fearful and uncared for.

My interpretation of this song(I think) is about how the little boy is always getting told that things are going to be okay because, well he's just a kid, and everyone knows that if you cry in front of a "child" their immediate response is to cry too. I think as life goes on for him, its clear that the life of those around him are drastically changing but no one will allow such things to affect him for he is only a little boy. So they're making big things seemingly look like small things all for the sake of his innocence(right)? First its the bike incident, everyone is assuring him that everything will be ok. Then it escalates to the parents with the car and the driveway, I assume they're probably separating but again, "everything will be okay". Mom and Dad will be in the other room and we're living in the suburban dream. So then the Mom is showing major signs of leaving and he sees this, and he is, naive about it. Cause again, he's only a little boy, and everything from what he's told will be okay.

I went to the live concert and he explains the backstory behind this song, it's hilarious.

So when was a child he rode his bike down a street and fell off (as stated in the song)
he gets a fake tooth that is too large for his mouth.
later he is at a club and all his friends laugh at him because the replacement tooth was glowing in the dark

Hi, I made a cover of this song if you want to check it out on my channel:) I also have some original songs on it as well:)

Underrated track, deserves more views!

This was amazing live

Whooah I thought it was OMAM's Dirty Paws at the beginning there

goosebumps rn

i love this song so much ahhhh

You deserve so much more fans

this song is about what? I'm curious! someone explain this lyrics pls

its about seeing a hill he used to look at when he was younger, never wanted to go down it on his bike cause it was too big... later in his life he went back to that ' hill' and realised that it wasnt even big it wasnt even a hill it was small. In a way an anecdote for life. always being that little boy meant he will always get scared and think something is bigger than it really is

Wait did you get all that from these lyrics? Did he say that somewhere else?

Didnt he fall off his bike on the hill and lose some teeth

This song remind me 💔💔

Vance não desaponta. Músicas perfeitas !

I love this song it makes me feel so relaxed

The very beginning of this song sounds so similar to the beginning of dirty paws by of monsters and men

the part when he sings "and I'll always be that little boy" breaks my heart in a good way

Another amazing song

Loving the pure sounds! Loving the story!

I'm in love with this new album

No words. This is amazing.

I wish I could thank Vance Joy in person, this album already means so much to me. It's uplifting and calms me whenever I feel stressed <3

Ranking Vance Joys new songs so far:
1) Little Boy
2) One Of These Days
3) Take Your Time
4) Where We Start

Octavian Blackthorn omg i agree! Also, its really strange that we have the same name. Is that your real name?

The beginning sounds a bit like Dirty Paws 💕

This album takes me to a happy place!

soo beautiful wow!

I feel like I wrote this song haha. I had the same accident at that same age he's singing about.

So much similarities here 'cause also a lady found me on the street.

amazing music as always

I was only ten years old
Like the back of my hand knew the roads
I swerved my bike and lost control
Over the handles in the air
A lady who came walking by found me lying there
And the nurse at the hospital said

"Little boy, don't be scared
Now your father is waiting in the next room
Little boy, don't be sad
Now your mom's on her way, you'll be out of here soon"

We drove so slowly through these streets
In the suburbs of our dreams
At night my father closed his eyes
He saw the new car in the drive
My mother standing in the doorway
Friday night, a smile on her face
And the voice I can hear in my head

"Little boy, don't be scared
Now you know we'll be sleeping in the next room
Little boy, don't be sad
Now tomorrow is as it is coming 'round soon"

We only need a little space
Just somewhere we could call our place
My mother standing in the doorway
Friday night, a smile on her face
These things always start so small
With no applause and no drum roll
And I came running up the hallway
See the car turn in the driveway

And I'll always be that little boy
And I've always been that little boy
Yeah, I'll always be that little boy
And I'll always be that little boy

Love this album!!!

Alana Niih Thank you❤

This song sounds pretty haunting for some reason

Yes! I feel the same! It's beautiful and heart-warming yet haunting and gloomy. I think it's because of the nostalgia it evokes

it's cool

It's very nice

Jest ukulele

Having an entire Vance Joy album is like early Christmas for me, man, I live for this music.

Vance Joyce's songs are always such a joy... Discovering there is a new song on Youtube is a promise the day will be good :) He never disappoints

Yumin- chi true

And on this new album the vocals seem to be so pure on quite a many of the songs (too bad not all of them, though), being not autotuned. Way to go. :)

I love this!
