About This Track

A duet with mxmtoon that maps the disorientation of new love onto the wreckage of daily life. BoyWithUke sketches the collapse: homework ignored, assignments overdue, sleep impossible, appetite gone. The song doesn't frame this as romantic tragedy so much as a kind of useful chaos, the speaker caught between the pull of infatuation and the weight of obligations he can no longer meet. mxmtoon enters on the second verse with her own version of the same vertigo, the two voices circling the same pre-chorus about falling into open arms and the certainty of heartbreak ahead. The production stays lean, letting the melody do the work; the hook arrives clean and direct, built around the image of dreaming of prairies and memories yet to be made. It's a song about wanting something badly enough to let everything else slip away, sung without apology or irony.

"Prairies" is a track by BoyWithUke, from the album Serotonin Dreams, released 6th May 2022. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Prairies

[Intro: BoyWithUke]

Ooh, alright, final take

[Verse 1: BoyWithUke]

Uh oh, what have you done?

Lock me up, I've fallen in love

Get me out of here, I said get me out of here

And I have homework and shit I need to do

Late assignments and papers overdue

I'm all out of tears, blurry nights won't disappear

[Pre-Chorus: BoyWithUke]

I was in my bed, I tried to sleep

I held my breath, I was too weak

I fell into your open arms

You'll break my heart, take it too far

But I don't care, this isn't fair

I love the way you do your hair

I love the way you write your name

I love thе way—

[Chorus: BoyWithUke]

You're driving me crazy, you're driving mе mad

I keep dreaming of prairies and memories that we'll have

My mom calls me lazy, my friends call me sad

Haven't been eating lately and I haven't been in class

[Verse 2: mxmtoon]

Uh oh, how original

Girl meets boy, it's so predictable

Get me out of here, get me out of here

You've got shit you say you've got to do

Left me there just to think it through

Facing all my fears, I've waited years and years

I get a feeling every time I go to bed

Are you thinking about me or is it all just in my head?

'Cause I'm fallin' at the speed of light

Can't keep up with the butterflies

Floating 'round, no sign of slowing down

[Pre-Chorus: BoyWithUke, BoyWithUke & mxmtoon]

I was in my bed, I tried to sleep

I held my breath, I was too weak

I fell into your open arms

You'll break my heart, take it too far

But I don't care, this isn't fair

I love the way you do your hair

I love the way you write your name

I love the way—

[Chorus: BoyWithUke & mxmtoon]

You're driving me crazy, you're driving me mad

I keep dreaming of prairies and memories that we'll have

My mom calls me lazy, my friends call me sad

Haven't been eating lately and I haven't been in class

[Bridge: BoyWithUke]

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Pre-Chorus: BoyWithUke, BoyWithUke & mxmtoon]

I was in my bed, I tried to sleep

I held my breath, I was too weak

I fell into your open arms

You'll break my heart, take it too far

But I don't care, this isn't fair

I love the way you do your hair

I love the way you write your name

I love the way—

[Chorus: BoyWithUke & mxmtoon]

You're driving me crazy, you're driving me mad

I keep dreaming of prairies and memories that we'll have

My mom calls me lazy, my friends call me sad

Haven't been eating lately and I haven't been in class
