Gavin Shane DeGraw nació el 4 de febrero de 1977 en South Fallsburg, Nueva York. Desde pequeño, Gavin mostró un interés genuino por la música, una pasión que fue alimentada en gran parte por su familia. Creció en un hogar donde la música era una constante, ya que sus padres, Lynne y Wayne DeGraw, eran músicos aficionados. Su hermano mayor, Joey DeGraw, también se dedicaba a la música, y juntos formaron una banda casera que cimentó los cimientos del talento de Gavin.
Su formación formal comenzó cuando asistió a la Berklee College of Music en Boston, donde pulió sus habilidades y encontró la inspiración para sus futuras composiciones. Aunque no completó su carrera allí, su paso por Berklee fue crucial. Más que técnicas académicas, Berklee le ofreció la oportunidad de relacionarse con otros músicos y crecer como artista.
Después de su etapa en Berklee, Gavin se mudó a Manhattan, Nueva York, con la esperanza de lanzarse en la escena musical. No pasó mucho tiempo antes de que empezara a tocar en clubes importantes como The Bitter End, donde su carisma y talento deslumbraron tanto al público como a los críticos.

Oh you just don't know, what you do to me
OOh, I come in close 'til you can barely breathe
You're out with your friends, but it's only you
That I'm looking at, thinking baby "yes, I do"
Is it even fair?
And are we to blame?
If we're in too deep and I don't even know your name
Just another night, of another week
With a groove so hot, we don't have to speak
There's just no way, that I'm gonna hear a word you say
Cause you know that boys don't cry
While you get hung up on every other guy
And I know that it's different for girls who care
Always wonder if his head is somewhere
I know it's different for girls
That's what you are
And oh, I know I just don't understand why it's different for girls
So we have a few and a little more and a little more and a little more
Till we both let go and you just give in
Yeah, we go too weak, forget about the shape we're in
The night is young, that dress is new
You spend too much time, thinking what I mean to you
Let goo, we're losing control
You know
There's just no way, that I'm gonna hear a word you say
Cause you know that boys don't cry
While you get hung up on every other guy
And I know that it's different for girls who care
Always wonder if his head is somewhere
I know it's different for girls
That's what you are
And oh, I know I just don't understand why it's different for girls
I don't understand why
I'm searching and I need to know
Just take me by the hand while
To get a little love and risk it all
I'm in trouble baby, can I get a witness?
I'm in trouble and I really need some help
There's just no way that I'm gonna hear a word you say
Cause you know that boys don't cry
While you get hung up on every other guy
And I know that it's different for girls who care
Always wonder if his head is somewhere
I know it's different for girls
That's what you are
And oh, I know I just don't understand why it's different for girls
Are we headed somewhere?
And oh, I know I just don't understand why it's different for girls
Headed somewhere
Is it headed somewhere?
Tell me if we're headed somewhere
oohh
