Dialed a number, got a stranger on the line
Thought it was my buddy, but fate said “fuck it, you’re mine”
“Who the hell is this?” he laughed like a goddamn maniac
Next thing I know we’re meeting up in Oildale, no turning back
Wrong phone number, right-place destiny
Chris with the grin and the pure chaos energy
We were supposed to be strangers, now we’re local folklore
Oildale nights don’t ask permission, they just say “hold my beer and watch this shit explode”
Chorus
Chris, you’ll always have a piece of my heart
Even though we dated and it blew the fuck apart
You’re the tattoo artist who inked my soul (and my worst decisions)
We did some crazy-ass shit that still makes the neighbors call the cops for no reason
Wrong number miracle, Oildale’s finest goddamn mistake
I’ll never forget you, you beautiful human earthquake
Verse 2
Remember that night we tried to race the train?
You said “trust me, bitch” while holding a half-flat bike and a beer in the rain
Got matching stick-and-pokes that looked like a toddler had a seizure with a pen
Yours said “YOLO” mine said “why the fuck did we begin?”
You inked a dragon on some dude that looked like a sad potato
He cried, you high-fived, then we stole his burrito and ate it in his driveway like assholes
We once got locked in a gas station bathroom till dawn
Singing karaoke to the soap dispenser with our pants halfway down, yelling “this is art, motherfuckers!”
Chorus
Chris, you’ll always have a piece of my heart
Even though we dated and it blew the fuck apart
You’re the tattoo artist who inked my soul (and my worst decisions)
We did some crazy-ass shit that still makes the neighbors call the cops for no reason
Wrong number miracle, Oildale’s finest goddamn mistake
I’ll never forget you, you beautiful human earthquake
Bridge
We weren’t meant to last, but damn we were a circus
Like two raccoons sharing one dumpster and a stolen radio, high off paint fumes and pure stupidity
Now you’re out there putting masterpieces on people’s skin
And I’m still laughing about the time we almost joined a cult… just for the free snacks and the group hug
Final Chorus
Chris, you’ll always have a piece of my heart
Even though we dated and it blew the fuck apart
You’re the tattoo artist who inked my soul (and my dumbest tattoos)
We did some crazy-ass shit — the kind the cops still argue about in their reports
Wrong number miracle, Oildale’s finest goddamn mistake
I’ll never forget you…
You beautiful, ink-stained, chaos-powered, slightly unhinged human earthquake
