Oneida Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Back before birthdays were something she dreads
Back before children had settled her friends
Back when the radio spoke to her heart
Oh girls, they wanna have fun

[Verse 2]
I lay here awake and I laugh at her jokes
She is referencing movies I'm too young to know
And I'm letting her lead as we dance in the dark
Oh girl, I'm falling in love

[Chorus]
Oneida, I know that I'm younger than most
But I'm willing if you've got the time
To buy us some wine
I've played my guitar
I've been workin' on learning that song you've been dying to sing
About weddings and rings
I'll strum in the back
And come in where I can harmonize on a line or two
But this song's all you

[Verse 3]
Pleading my case with the bro at the door
Buddy, I know we've been through this before
You can't let me go in but if I wait outside
Will you give her a message for me?
[Chorus]
Tell her, "Oneida, I know that I'm younger than most
But I'm willing if you've got the time
To buy us some wine
I'll bring my guitar
I've been workin' on learning that song you've been dying to sing
About weddings and rings
I'll strum in the back
And come in where I can harmonize on a line or two
But this song's all you"

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
