Alright uh, let me tell this story
So I met this girl at a party
Really cute girl, uh she had
You know the clips from Walmart
That you put in your hair?
The colorful ones? yeah she had that
Gorgeous makeup, pretty clothes
She was like a insta-baddie
She was like one of those girls

Her name was Sarah
I was kinda shy
But she was a daredevil
And she liked to smoke
But she didn't like to drink
'Cause she know that
Her parents will yell at her
Then she said

"Hey Layla!" (Yeah what's up?)
"You know, I really like hanging out with ya!"
(Awe, I really like hanging out with you too!)
"I think I really wanna kiss ya"
(Wait... really?)

"Yeah, but I don't want to scare ya!"
(Aw no, it's cool!)

Next thing I know
Sarah took me to the bathroom
And then I met Sarah in the bathroom
Now we're up against the wall
And she's calling me baby
I said "Are you sure? This is kinda crazy"
She says, "I just really wanna go!
I don't wanna take it slow"
Sarah in the bathroom
And with a face like hers
I can't say no, I can't say no

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of awfultune’s “I Met Sarah in the Bathroom” depict a chance encounter between the singer and a girl named Sarah at a party. This girl is initially described in superficial terms- as someone who is fashionable and trendy- a “insta-baddie”. However, as the encounter between them develops, Sarah’s character becomes more complex. She is presented as a daredevil who enjoys smoking, but avoids drinking because of the possibility of her parents getting angry. Despite their initial shyness, Sarah admits that she wants to kiss the singer and takes them to the bathroom. The bathroom becomes a symbolic space for the intimacy that develops between them, and Sarah’s desire to pursue a physical relationship with the singer is consummated against the wall of the bathroom. The singer’s reluctance is overcome by the power of Sarah’s beauty, and they eventually succumb to their passion.
