[Verse 1]

Staring at the sink

I thought saw your face

Pour another drink

Just to wash away the pain

Of another evening of you feeling so far away

It's been a couple weeks

We've spoken every day

Can't believe myself

I've known you since school

I guess my ignorance was waiting this long

To tell you that I think you're cool

Now you're close to leaving

In two weeks, you'll be so far away

Maybe you will text me (Yeah)

And maybe you'll say


[Chorus]

Hello, baby, sorry for the slow reply

Do you wanna come over and spend the night?

Sippin' straight tequila 'til our heads feel numb

Hold me close and put our favorite movie on


[Verse 2]

Spent the day with you

Never felt like this

But now I'm overthinking everything and

Kinda wish we had that kiss

And now you're really leaving

In one week, you'll be so far away

I really need to see you (Yeah)

I really hope you say


[Chorus]

Hello, baby, sorry for the slow reply (Slow reply)

Do you wanna come over and spend the night? (Spend the night)

Sippin' straight tequila 'til our heads feel numb

Hold me close and put our favorite movie on (Yeah)


[Interlude]

Hey, man, uh, this might sound a little bit crazy, but

I think I'm in love with this girl

I mean, she's amazing

Like, our first date

We went to this beach and we stargazed all night

Our second date, we ended up just chatting about life, like, the whole time

And our third date

I guess we did what most people do on their third dates


[Chorus]

Hello, baby, sorry for the slow reply (Slow reply)

Do you wanna come over and spend the night? (Spend the night)

Sippin'

Straight tequila 'til our heads feel numb

Hold me close and put our favorite movie on (Yeah)
