Lily

lyrics

Always thought I'd grow up to be a lonely, bitter man
My best friend would probably be myself
'Cause I wouldn't get loved by no one else
I won't get loved unless I loved myself

I met a girl
We took a ride (We took a ride)
Not sure what happened after that
But she was cool
And she was fine (And she was fine)
And I was laughing after that

'Cause I don't care anymore
Got something more than love itself
I'm not scared anymore
'Cause now I've got somebody else

You know
what I mean?
You know
what I mean?

I'll call you Lily, 'cause
I am so in love that
Lily is the only word I can say
I'll call you Lily, 'cause
I am so in love and
Lily just so happens to be your name
Lily just so happens to be your

We took a ride
into the night (Into the night)
Not knowing where it was to end
And it was clear
And it was bright (And it was bright)
Lily, won't you be my friend?

'Cause I don't care anymore
Got something more than love itself
I'm not scared anymore
'Cause now I've got somebody else

I don't wanna be
You know what I mean?

I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be lonely anymore

I'll call you Lily, 'cause
I am so in love that
Lily is the only word I can say
I'll call you Lily, 'cause
I am so in love and
Lily just so happens to be your name
Lily just so happens to be your

I'll call you Lily, 'cause (I don't care anymore)
I am so in love that
Lily is the only word I can say
I'll call you Lily, 'cause (I'm not scared anymore)
I am so in love and
Lily just so happens to be your name
Lily just so happens to be your

Always thought I'd grow up to be a lonely bitter man
