[Verse 1: Cavetown]
You can't force him to love you
He can't expect you to be alright
With all the bullshit he gives you
You wake up drenched in mosquito bites

[Pre-Chorus: Cavetown & Orla Gartland]
But if you fall in love with a girl
She'll make you feel like the world is on your shoulder
When you're holding her hand
The first time that you kiss, you'll smell lilacs on her lips
And when you need a little space
You know that she'll understand

[Chorus: Cavetown & Orla Gartland]
That boy, let him go
Lights are on, but no one's home
Enough's enough, find your pearl
And fall in love with a girl

[Verse 2: Orla Gartland]
You know it's okay to want more
You know it's okay to clench your fists
When your head is all tanglеd up
Nobody else makes you feel likе this
I don't wanna be your wakeup call (Wakeup call)
I don't wanna be on your bedroom wall (Bedroom wall)
No one ever said boys do it better
So I wrote you a letter
Saying, "Why don't you leave him and come here and kiss me instead?"
[Pre-Chorus: Cavetown & Orla Gartland]
I heard you fell in love with a girl
She makes you feel like the world is on your shoulder
When you're over your head
She'll love you carefully, drawing letters on the beach
And you finally found a place where you don't have to pretend

[Chorus: Cavetown & Orla Gartland]
That boy, let him go
Lights are on, but no one's home
Enough's enough, find your pearl
And fall in love with a girl

[Outro: Cavetown]
That boy, let him go
Lights are on; no one's home
Enough's enough, find your pearl
And fall in love with a girl
