This is a song about the times when you meet a girl under bizarre lighting and you play a song, say something vaguely philosophical and then she leaves but it's actually okay because you are all deep and philosophical and cool. It's called sad song because it's a sad song about a sad song. Very sad.
This song is about 34.32% tongue in cheek.
[la la la hook]
I met a girl last Friday night
Under neon and incandescent light
She asked me if I'd come along
And if I'd play her a sad song, a woah woah
(I said)
We're two in seven billion on this big old world
Which is one of countless trillions or so I've been told
I told her that I didn't have long
And then I played her a sad song, a woah woah
[la la la hook]
She told me that she had to go
I guess I played my song too slow
I never saw that girl again
But really some moments they never end, a woah woah
We're two in seven billion on this big old world
Which is one of countless trillions or so I've been told
I guess I'll wait for the next one to come along
And then I'll play her a sad song, a woah woah
A woah, woah.....
And maybe then she'll sing along
And dance with me 'till the stars are gone
I need someone who can sing in tune
Maybe someone who looks like you (gasp sounds)
[la la la hook]
