Young Man Dan Lyrics

Let me take y'all back man

Way way back

Well, actually not that long ago

This was when I was in the, in the, in the

When I was in the 12th grade, formal dance, people getting asked

Little late in the game, starting to think I'd been passed up

Thanksgiving break the normal cutoff for this thing

But then I met this girl, in my head I heard cha-ching

A light bulb went off (ding)

Maybe I could go with her

She still needs a date I heard

Cason and AC concur

So they introduced me to her

I met her in the backseat at Sonic

She laughed at all my jokes, and knew when I was being ironic

And from that moment on the love I had for her was chronic

I would snapchat her all night, me and Meredith it was right

At that time, a good joke template was self-timed photographs with a caption

I made a lot of those

And whether or not she saved them, was how I measured satisfaction

We were talking so much

Thanksgiving break came along, we planned to hang out a bunch

Watch high school musical and stuff

And thats my favorite movie series

Would she ask me to the formal dance? We all had our theories

One night, we're hanging, talking about the dance, I'm shaking

Alright, I'm thinking, now we're never heavy breathing

But she let the moment pass her by

The only thing I thought was 'why?'

Ended up asking a horrible guy

It was the same dude who asked me what my sandwich tasted like one time in the 10th grade

He picked it up and took a bite out before I could even respond or react

I wanted her back, had it all planned out, was mapped

Come to find out the only reason she didn't ask me was what?!

Cause she was one of the girls at the dance that would walk down the steps in her dress, like

Getting recognized for something important I guess, and those girls get walked down by their dates

And she didn't want me to be shorter than her wearing high heels, she was stressed

I said "Wow" (when I found out)

"Holy cow" (that is so dumb)

I could feel you lead me on, but she didn't really do me wrong

I mean that was just a personal decision that she made about the type of guy she wanted, and I just didn't happen to meet the criterion but

We looked each other in the face

It's not like I was shorter than her, she just couldn't see the good in Trey

Her reasoning affects me to this day

Her reasoning affects me to this day

Then she said Trey, it's no big deal, let's be real, at a dance, that's not ideal

I said okay, but I feel like you made it seem like you were gonna ask me is all

I know I'm not tall, but you laughed at all my jokes, all fall

Whatever

We moved on, kept growing, still just as friends

Still talking every night I didn't want it to end

Texting, "goodnight", "goodmorning", thinking I could be her short king. Talking every single day should've come with a warning

She made me feel so important

All of this attention that I did nothing to warrant

I took the long walk to see her, down the science hallway

Seriously a long walk

Didn't need to go that way at all

Time goes on I start to think about the way she makes me feel

Maybe I should ask her out, Cason says, "Yeah might as well"

So I ask her to hang out one night, and we go to sonic

We get there and her friend is with her, she hops in the back

Tells me a crazy story about her other friend, that

Was asked by her boyfriend to marry her over text (that's wild)

What's next

We laughed some more (she smiled)

She explained to me how she wouldn't even say yes to a guy asking her out of her text, and I just nervous laughed (hehe)

Cause that was the exact reason I had asked her to meet up with me, me

And I almost got cold feet

But then her friend got out the back seat (oh. okay. its time. lets do this.)

My heart was beating, pounding out my chest

Told her I had one request

Let me take you out, she looked into my eyes and she said

She'd think about it (huh? what?)

Yeah we'll talk about it, and then she got out the car (oh my gosh)

So I'm sitting in the parking spot, the same one where I met her

How poetic, sitting thinking theoretically

She would've said yes if she wanted me

Her and I, I wanted we, I'd give her the whole world for free. Adventure there's so much to see

Someone else there has to be, cause there cannot be anything inherently that's wrong with me

There is nothin', nothin'

There is nothin', nothin'

There is nothin', oh nothin', oh nothin'

Nothin' inherently wrong with me, I know it

God didn't put her in my life

I don't know why

But, He knows best
