[Intro]
(Yeah)
Yeah
[Verse 1]
The ice is melting in the drink
You drank so that you wouldn't think
Of all the shit he put you through
He made you cry, he made you move
You're all fresh out, so you made some love
You thought his dick would be enough
You close your eyes and count to ten
It all just starts all over again
[Chorus]
Oh, Lily, when will you see?
No one's gonna love you 'til you do
And, Lily, you might feel weak
But you're just strong enough not to lose
'Cause now there's a rock 'n' roll song
And it's named after you
[Verse 2]
He kisses you like nothing's wrong
Brought you home to meet his mom
She treated you just like a queen
Then used you for a ride to Queens
You lie to all your friends back home
And tell 'em you found Romeo
And, in a way, I guess it's true
'Cause he will be the death of you
[Chorus]
Lily, when will you see? (Ahh-ah)
No one's gonna love you 'til you do (Ahh-ah)
And, Lily, you might feel weak (Ahh-ah)
But you're just strong enough not to lose (Ahh)
'Cause now there's a rock 'n' roll song
And it's named after you
[Post-Chorus]
(One, two, three)
[Instrumental Break: Whistle Solo]
[Bridge]
And I've known you since we were kids
Talking trash with braces in
Before dirt was dirty or love was pain
Just happy with our stupid brains
Your dad don't know, and you lied to mom
Got all dressed up, and skipped the prom
You never told me where you went
But you never smiled the same again
[Chorus]
Lily, when will you see? (Ahh-ah)
No one's gonna love you 'til you do (Ahh-ah)
And, Lily, you're not too weak (Ahh-ah)
You're just strong enough not to lose (Ahh)
'Cause now there's a rock 'n' roll song
And it's named after you
[Outro]
Yeah, now there's a rock 'n' roll song
And it's named after you

“Lily” is a song [about] a person I know that was just was in a situation that I think she knew she shouldn’t be in and couldn’t really get out of it at the same time. It was just kind of this thing where you’re watching someone that you know as a friend or, you know, as someone that you just really...
There’s certain songs I write that are, like, ¾ in the morning songs that are, like, me with the guitar in the basement, kind of falling asleep, and I just start cycling on this thing and, all of a sudden, a lyric comes out. It was one of those more therapeutic songs as far as, like, I felt like I h...
