- Wrote this song about me and my friends' childhoods. There were times growing up that I thought life would never get better. That life would always be that painful. But I promise, it's never the end of the story.
My debut album "Kid Krow" comes out March 20th. Presave/order here: ConanGray.lnk....

Lyrics:
Let me tell you a story
About a boy and a girl
It’s kinda short kinda boring
But the end is a whirl
They were just sixteen
When the people were mean
So they didn’t love themselves
And now they’re gone
Headstones on a lawn
And when I was younger
I knew a boy and a boy
Best friends with each other
But always wished they were more
‘Cause they loved one another
But never discovered ‘cause they were too afraid
Of what they’d say
Moved to different states
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
It ain’t funny, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t sweet
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
But I think that it could work for you and me
Just wait and see
It’s not the end of the story
Now it's on to the sequel
About me and my friend
Both our parents were evil
So we both made a bet
If we worked and we saved
We could both run away
And we’d have a better life
And I was right
I wonder if she’s all right
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
It ain’t funny, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t sweet
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
But I think that it could work for you and me
Just wait and see
It’s not the end of the story
And the movie’s always running in my head
All the people, all the lovers, all my friends
And I hope that they all get their happy end
In the end
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
It ain’t funny, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t sweet
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
But I think that it could work for you and me
Just wait and see
It’s not the end of the story

When this song was played in THE EIGHTH SENSE I literally cried 😭
OMG IK IM WATCHING IT RN
I came to know about this song from that masterpiece 🫠
Me too 😭😭😭
Omg. I just heard it from them and pause the series just now and headed here for this song. I really wanted to understand the lyrics. Also I found out Ji Hyun requested this song personally.
Yeah❤
When he say "I wonder if she's alright" I just crawl into a ball and cry cause I miss my best friend so damn much and I really hope she's alright
me to most of my childhood friends tbh
dude for real, my childhood bestfriend lost his mom around the time we were 4 and idk what happened. i moved away and nvr saw him again. i hope he's alright too.
khadijah lattraq wow me too
I felt this- I really do hope my best friend is alright 🥺
My best friend is currently in coma theres a 50% she could make it but I only think about the only 50%..
They were just sixteen when the people were mean, so they didn’t love themselves. Now they’re gone.
Let me tell you that part makes me cry every time.

this song in eight sense 9 ep made me cry a lot, this song represents their story. And just hearing conan's voice and understanding the lyrics makes me cry, it's just really beautiful.

FOR REAL
“I wonder if she’s alright” I’m not crying
the song reached that part the second i read this comment
what does he mean by that?
@@souendon9801 the song was talking about running away before it says "I hope she's alright" but I interpreted it as a s*icide. I searched the song up in Genius and nothing came up, so this is just what I assumed it meant.
I'm the girl, and I am not okay ... I miss them... 😢
“BUT ALWAYS WISHED THEY WERE MORE” AWE OMFG-
This part hit me hard
That part hit me so hard I basically started to tear up

I KNEW I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT SAD AT THIS PART
Omg I fell apart at that part
your profile picture makes this comment better-
"And I was right"
Me: Oohh that's so sweet
"I wonder if she's alright"
Me:
When you hear this in concert, when hes putting all his emotion into it right in front of you, it hurts, it's a bittersweet experience
on god its such a surreal experience
This song live was so fucking surreal, it was gorgeous bro
I loved hearing this live, saw him in Charlotte NC
I wanna see him in concert 🥺🥺
I heard this in his concert and God knows we were all crying
same, especially after the speech he gave right before he performed this song!!!!!!
Same!!😭
what did he say in the speech?? 🥺
I'M JEALOUS
i did too, his speech was heartbreaking
"I knew a boy and a girl, and now their gone, headstones on a lawn"
Lilly Evans and James Potter
"I knew a boy and a boy, moved to different states"
Sirius Black and Remus Lupin
IM SOBBING
WHY
😭😭😭😭
I’m reading ATYD...
@DIANA BÁRBARA BLANCO MEDINA me too...
no one:
absolutely no one:
Conan: *WELL LET’S MAKE EVERYONE CRY*
giulia scinetti well he did that :’)
“Headstones on a lawn” gets me every. Single. Time. And I’ve replayed this so many times already. I wonder if he just made it up or not.....
He told the story at a concert before playing it (before it was released), and I think it was real or at least based on something real.
Rev could be based on romeo and juliet?
This isn't My real name I saw one of the concerts videos and he said in it that it’s based off of stories from his life that he couldn’t forget / let go of. So yea, it’s true :/
"and i hope that they all get they're happy end" conan- THEIR
abbie hosking omg! i was gonna comment this, but i thought people would be annoyed lol.
I JUST NOTICED THIS. LMAO OUR BABY
he’s baby :3
I just noticed HSKNFNS
I DID A DOUBLE TAKE LIKE CONAN REALLY DID THAT
I'm so thankful for the eight sense for making me discover this masterpiece
Conan: "And I knew a boy and a boy"
me: *gay happy noises but also crying because I know how this ends*
ME TOO FUUUUCK
imalexx is a cutie same 😭😭
Same here
😭😭😭😭
Same😭
i like how he’s kinda talking in this one, makes it so much more real and raw
i was at a concert of his in LA and he preformed this song and when i tell you he had everyone in that venue crying i mean it
cupof_tae _ i was there on the 13th and my god i was balling my eyes out
at the one in atlanta i couldn’t see though my tearss
cupof_tae _ aww 🥰
my grandma took me to his concert and she was crying too,,
I saw it omg 😭
It really is heartbreaking to relate to this
"Both our parents were evil
So we both made a bet
If we worked and we saved
We could both run away
And we'd have a better life
And I was right"
i kept looking for this comment'
my heart aches everytime i hear this line.
Those lines are so true
"I wonder if she's alright"
Who could be that girl friend from the same town who had "evil parents" and moved out of town like Conan, too?
@@loveleeluv7wait are you suspecting someone rn?
"Best friends with each other, but always wished they were more"
Everyone at the concert: *"aaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWEEEEE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"*
Sooo saddddd
I just covered this song if anybody could take the time to check it out! Everybody loves Heather, but this song has always been my favorite! :) 💚

when you already have all the lyrics memorised 😎✌️
I know right I've been singing to this for months although the final version of it is just *chefs kiss* perfect
hana same 😂😂
raku anty i thought the live version was good but THIS is just 🤠
“moved to different states” im starting to think he’s talking about the same guy in “the king”
h0lytoxic he has only one and true love ❤️ at least as we know. Like its his life’s love. Probably the same guy
@@nehir5501 are you JOKING the love of his life and wife of 12 years ASHLEY 😡😡😡😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
h0lytoxic I was thinking the same thing!
charlie oops, u right i forgot it
h0lytoxic it’s the only guy he talks of
GUYS AFTER THE EIGHTH SENSE I CANNOT LISTEN TO THIS WITHOUT CRYING
"I wonder if she's alright"
*_-damn it's getting too warm for my eyes-_*
yeah I know dude, im sorry. I understand how you feel
conan: are you in the headspace to receive information that could potentially hurt you?
SirahUnix me: no but I want it
the dislikes are just from people who weren’t ready for the amount of emotion
They were probably crying and dudnt see well
Mae Audette Facts
Or homophobics🤮

I knew a boy and a boy, best friends with each other, but always wished they were more.” WOLFSTAR
Yesssss
Yes omgg
OMG YESS
And the “and now they’re gone, headstones on a lawn” is James and Lily!!!
YESYESYES
the bridge is the best part in all his songs period
yep
From songs I've heard (new fan) i can agree lol
The chorus in this one.
.
Conan knows how to do bridges for sure
‘oh and im afraid thats just the way the world works ‘
this hit me hard 💔
Me too. Powerful lyrics.
This song is a masterpiece 🥰
ps sorry for assuming stuff imma just let my ears be blessed now
Oh yes! I was thinking the same thing🥺❤️
has he confirmed this was about him and the other person? conan literally tweeted a tweet a week ago getting upset at the people who always try to find out who the people in his songs are but he deleted it.
By second verse do you mean the girl and boy one or the boy and boy? ✨💕
pookie The boy and the boy one
@@des2748 I think so
came here after the eighth sense eps 9 🙂🤭
Conan gray angelic voice👏👏👏
*_i miss not hear a bunch of people yell “awee” after conan said “ Best friends with each other but always wish they were more” .. but then again i don’t, it’s a bittersweet feeling_*
Ana Palij in my head i put in the “awws” automatically
everytime I listen to this song I hear it in the back of my mind 🥺
I listened to that early version soooo much lol
I was thinking the same thing 🥺
Ana Palij BRUH SAME
"It ain't funny
It ain't pretty
It ain't sweet"
It does something to my soul
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU CONAN!! I LOVE IT!!
Edit: thanks for the likes!
if ashley didn’t cry when he sang about her in the second verse and he said “i wonder if she’s alright” then idk how to feel because i teared up
i didn't understand it they don't talk anymore??
Aesthetic Lover sorry i’m pretty new to his music (few months). who’s ashley?
@@wafabhayani7815 shes his best friend
Aesthetic Lover do u actually thinks it’s about ash? i’m really not sure
I don't think it's Ashley because they still talk?
This song represents jaewon and jihyun story from The Eighth Sense series, this song so good the lyrics too. Thank you The Eighth Sense
this song actually doesn't make me cry, it makes me calm.
euphoric same mane
OG Conan stans probably know the exact people this song is about
Sure do 😭
Plz tell us the newcomers🥺
I DO 😫😫😫
S unnati Rao I’ve been a huge fan since early 2017 so I’m pretty familiar with Conan’s friend group and all from watching basically every UA-cam video he ever released. I’m pretty sure the friend he talks about who he no longer knows is Ellie. The two boys might be Gus and Heath. Idk if he was being coy and talking about himself, like he was actually one of the boys but idk. It’s make sense as they all went to high school together and that’s where Conan fell in love for the first time. Also Conan tweeted a meme a few years back indicating he was bi on Twitter a few years ago too. And for the straight couple idk. And for those who might be confused about him saying his parents were evil it’s likely because Conan recently revealed that he was kicked out of his home and made homeless just before Idle Town was released on UA-cam.
@@OisinMKenny but in one video he said that he loves his mom ☹️ maybe he said it jst like that. And that friend Ellie, what happened to her? Why did they stop talking?
"I wonder if she's alright.."
This line made me tear up because it just reminds me of the fact that I haven't seen my best friend in almost 7 months because my parents are homophobic, and said that they're just doing it for my own good.
Edit #1: I finally saw my friend!!! It was so great to see them again, I'm so happy!
Edit #2: Hey thanks for the likes I just saw them yesterday!!! It gets better guys!!❤️❤️
Edit #3 November 4th 2020: Heyy after a year my parents are finally coming around! They are starting to accept me and are letting me and my friend hangout again :))) thank u so much for your support i love yall sm
Edit #4 March 19th 2021: Holy shit there is a lot of support in these comments. Thank you all so so fucking much, I was wrong about my parents just when I thought we were good they flat out said they won't accept me. It's okay though, sometimes we just need to accept that there are some people we can't change. I'm just really happy to have my bestfriend in my life again, and my girlfriend! My girlfriend is amazing holy hell. I could go on and on about her but I'm not gonna bore you all.
Your name I automatically stan you
i’m so happy for u aww
Same. One of my friends moms had a mental illness and she moved away. At first she texted. But she started responded less and less and I haven’t heard from her in about 3 years😔 luv u Molly
Thats amazing! How was it?
X-avier Toro I’m so sorry love🥺❤️❤️
Came back to the song after the last ep of the eighth sense 🥺 their scenes with this song were so wholesome ❤️❤️
