Best Night Ever
Jason Segel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Laughter raining down like April shower
Oh we talked for hours
Best night ever
Remember when Lily told that story ′bout the DMV
They're not very efficient there, which is why it was funny
Lily made some crème brulee-lee-lee-lee-lee
And now that we′re best couple friends
There's only one thing left to say
Are you free, Are you free,,
Are you free, Are you free
Are you free next Saturday (That's the 17th)
Are you free, Are you free
Are you free, Are you free
Are you free next Saturday (Lily found a new risotto recipe)
Are you free, Are you free
Please be free, say you′re free
Are you free next Saturday
Are you free
(Friday or Sunday would also work, or basically any other day)
