Sweet Lily

Let me tell you a story about a night I won't forget
But in reality there's parts that I forget
Go ahead man, go ahead and tell me your story
All the facts, all the deets, all the scenes
Everything I need to know
Alright here goes

It starts with lonely me feeling as cute as can be
Spotting a girl who was way out of my league
She had that go-to look that got on the hook
Earrings and tats all around, a beauty straight from the book
I hyped myself times ten but stress was setting in
What's the worst if I go all in?
As I walked up to her my vision started to blur
I say hello but for me it's probably game over

At this point it feels like trying to cross a swaying bridge
I devised myself a fool-proof plan
Liquid courage?
Got that right son, I know it's not the best of plans
What were you thinking man better yet
What were you
Drinking?

I had a shot of gin and some vodka too
Ordered margaritas for me and you
I had an Adios and a Four Lokos
I mixed the two
You know how that goes
I switched it up beer
Thought I was in the clear
Oh how wrong I was my dear
The worst is yet to come
Cause I'm not done
The story has only begun

Step 1 complete: see if she liked me in the least
Lucky for me she was the sweetest, Lily
Tell me more man, tell me more man
Was she all you wanted to be?
You bet my friend she was the perfect girl for me

She was a dancing queen
She got her college degree
She upped that twice and got herself an MD
She swung and swayed her hair
She got my heart in the air
She lived her life all-out like she didn't care
She was the perfect girl and lit up my whole world
She liked me even though I was a solid 3
But like I said young one the worst is yet to come
The liquid courage is coming

Undone, undone, undone
Undone, undone, undone
I'm done
I'm done

I woke up in a mess I'm sure you could've guessed
Still hung up on the facts but I digress
Go ahead man, go ahead man and finish your story
Where was she, where was she
Where was your sweetest Lily?
I don't know my friend I woke up alone in bed
Rolled over hoping to see her face, instead
There was a note addressed to me in ballpoint red
"Last night was a trip, see you again" it said
The note had all the facts, all the deets, and all the scenes
Last words signed off by yours truly
Sweet Lily

We grabbed a cab downtown
Explored and ran all around
We sang and danced all night until we fell to the ground
We went from bar to bar
We didn't get very far
You strip teased on a random car
Late night tattoos
One for me and you
Seemed like a fool-proof plan around a half-past 2
But the worst part of all during this epic ball
I never got your number

To call, to call, to call
To call, to call, to call
Call
I never got your number to
Call!
