(Verse 1)
Heard you dumped him, saw the Insta-cry
Another sunset, another goodbye
You’re looking fragile, like a wilting rose
And darling, opportunity, well, everyone knows
It knocks but once, or in this case, twice a week
When hearts get shattered, and the future’s bleak
So put down the tissues, and dry those pretty eyes
‘Cause I’m here offering, a strategic compromise.
(Pre-Chorus)
I won’t pretend I’m your forever knight
Just a temporary star, burning ever so bright
No epic sonnets, no long-term, grand design
Just a warm distraction, and maybe cheap wine.
(Chorus)
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend, baby, yeah
A fleeting comfort, a temporary repair
No strings attached, no promises to keep
Just a shoulder to cry on, while you fall asleep
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend, it’s true
A classic upgrade, from the old to the new
Consider me the duct tape, for your broken heart
A limited-time offer, a brand new start.
(Verse 2)
See, I’m a specialist in post-breakup bliss
A connoisseur of temporary, stolen kiss
I’ll bring the pizza, and the cheesy flicks
And listen patiently, to all your romantic ticks
No judgment here, just a sympathetic ear
And a talent for making, the pain disappear
So let’s rewrite the narrative, a brand new scene
Where you’re the queen, and I’m your rebound machine.
(Pre-Chorus)
I won’t pretend I’m your forever knight
Just a temporary star, burning ever so bright
No epic sonnets, no long-term, grand design
Just a warm distraction, and maybe cheap wine.
(Chorus)
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend, baby, yeah
A fleeting comfort, a temporary repair
No strings attached, no promises to keep
Just a shoulder to cry on, while you fall asleep
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend, it’s true
A classic upgrade, from the old to the new
Consider me the duct tape, for your broken heart
A limited-time offer, a brand new start.
(Bridge)
We’ll make some memories, a fleeting, wild affair
Then when you’re ready, I’ll just disappear
No hard feelings, no dramatic goodbye
Just a knowing wink, as you wave me bye.
(Chorus)
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend, baby, yeah
A fleeting comfort, a temporary repair
No strings attached, no promises to keep
Just a shoulder to cry on, while you fall asleep
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend, it’s true
A classic upgrade, from the old to the new
Consider me the duct tape, for your broken heart
A limited-time offer, a brand new start.
(Outro)
Rebound boyfriend… a limited edition.
Don’t miss out, on this temporary transition.
