Dear Sarah
awfultune Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alright, let me tell you this story
You already know the first part

I really had a lot of fun at that party
All her friends, they seemed to love me
That night was the best night I ever had
She went back to her school in the city
The pics she sends me they′re so pretty
We talk every day but it still feels bad
It's so dumb to meet someone
And be practically in love, oh, oh

Oh, what a daredevil she was

Hey, it′s Layla
I really wanna hang out with ya
But I'm miles away from ya
I hope you didn't meet someone else

Sarah, I′m not shy anymore like I used to be
When you′re done with college
Will you be done with me?
Will you be done with me?

Dear Sarah in the bathroom
Sarah in the bathroom
Dear Sarah in the bathroom
Sarah in the bathroom

I haven't heard from Sarah since yesterday
She posts on her story almost every day
It says that she′s active now
Did I annoy her somehow?

I'm usually not the one to get obsessive
And I′m sorry if it seems so excessive
But I spend too much of my time
Wishing that she was online

And the calls were all dropped
And the photos got cracked
Then everything just stopped

Hey, it's Layla
I really wanna hang out with ya
But I′m miles away from ya
I guess you finally found someone else

Sarah, I'm not shy anymore like I used to be
And it's all because of the night that you kissed me
The night that you kissed me

Dear Sarah in the bathroom
Sarah in the bathroom




Dear Sarah in the bathroom
Sarah in the bathroom

Overall Meaning

He wonders if she has found someone else and is left with memories of the night they kissed.


The lyrics illustrate a sense of longing and desperation that is relatable to many people who have experienced distance and separation from someone they care about.
