lyrics

I was sittin’ around I was kickin’ about
Useless as always
Listenin’ to the radio
Hearin’ all the songs that go
Oh, oh oh oh,
A girl came on and she was singin’ strong
Bout that word called love
Figured it couldn’t be hard
And since I’m kind of a bard
​
I wanted to write you a love song
But I got so nervous and I
Wanted to write you a love song
But it all sounded stupid
Wanted to write you a love song that could stop all time
But I couldn’t write one long enough
I couldn’t keep it short enough
I couldn’t get it to rhyme
​
I tried to picture your face for some inspiration
But I just got side tracked
Tried to picture the days we spent so well
But then I called you to hang out
I tried to be poetic but it all turned out pathetic
The only words that would come out of my mouth were
La la la la la la la la la
All I could come up with was
La la la la la la la la
​
I wanted to write you a love song
But I got so nervous and I
Wanted to write you a love song
But it all sounded stupid
Wanted to write you a love song that could stop all time
But I couldn’t write one long enough
I couldn’t keep it short enough
I couldn’t get it to rhyme
​
I tried to describe the way I felt that day
We first made contact
Made up some metaphors
All about the way you
Made my heart soar
But it all sounded cliché and I didn’t wanna pay
Any homage, to Taylor Swift songs
Couldn’t even come up with a better melody than
G D C

And I wanted to write you a love song
But I got so nervous and I
Wanted to write you a love song
But it all sounded stupid
Wanted to write you a love song that could stop all time
But I couldn’t write one long enough
I couldn’t keep it short enough
I couldn’t get it to rhyme

All I could come up with was
La la la la la la la la la
All I could come up with was
La la la la la la la la
I’m still workin’ with
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
How do you feel about
La la la la la la la la la
