[Verse 1]
Met you in the checkout line
Laughing at the price of gum
You said
“This cart is my cardio”
I knew right then we’d be dumb and young
Cut you off mid-rant one night
Just to steal your fries
You pretended you were furious
But you smiled with your eyes
[Chorus]
Lila and the Nothing
Somehow we turned it into something
All of these moments
Stacked up like tickets on the floor
Lila and the Nothing
Laughing like we owe the world nothing
Pushing our problems
In a squeaky cart out the door
[Verse 2]
We raid the racks on Saturday
Try on things we’d never buy
You spin around in that velvet dress
Say
“This is me
But too high-priced”
Volume up
We scream along
To songs that nobody owns
Windows down in the parking lot
Like that asphalt’s our throne
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Here’s to the jokes that make no sense
The late-night calls
The half-paid rent
The way you say my name
Like it’s always been this way
If all we have is “nothing”
Then I’m fine staying here
In our little “nothing”
Year after year
[Chorus]
