Song Notes

Disappearing Boy was inspired by an incident at the River Theater in Guerneville. GD wasn't playing. Weird gig. Broken heart

Boy likes girl. Girl likes different guy. Girl and different guy get drunk in parking lot and make out. Boy leaves gig alone. ♥=destroyed

Lyrics
Now you see me, now you don't Don't ask me where I'm at 'Cause I'm a million miles away Treated like a forbidden heel Don't say my thoughts are not for real Or you won't see me again Am I here or am I there Or am I playing on the stairs Am I in my room with my toys I am the disappearing boy When I walk in crowded rooms I feel as if it is my doom I know that I don't belong In that room I see her I see her and she's with him I turn around and then I'm gone Don't call me up 'cause I'm not home My whereabouts are now unknown I vanished from all your joy I am the disappearing boy I have my doubts Of where I belong It's something to think about Don't call me up 'cause I'm not home My whereabouts are now unknown I vanished from all your joy I am the disappearing boy
