"Sure"

You know, I'm the most
Undeserving
Guy in the world
And she still said sure

How did I get it so good?

And then I remember the van
I came here in a van
A band's van
You don't put the angel Isabel in a band's van

Oh! Idea!
"Guys, take my equipment, will you?"
"With pleasure!" "Way to score, Alex!"
And they take themselves out of here
And she's with just me

Plus, the most kickass
On foot
Make out point
Is 3 blocks away

I can't help but smile
"Come on"
I'm on cloud nine
Cocky enough to try and take her hand
As we walk, she doesn't refuse

It's a minute before I notice
She blushed when the boys shouted at us
And she still took my hand
Hmmmmmm...

And all is forgotten as the humidity wave hits us
This New Mexico spring is more like a Florida August

"You guys did pretty well this time"
"Better than McCarno's, you mean?"
Hey, I made her smile
"Yeah, the crowd was loving you"
That's not all the loving that will go on tonight-
Did I just think that?!?
"I think it was the third song,
The one Maria suggested"

Our hand swing in time with
Our steps
Both slow and casual
And I wander why Michael never comes to watch Maria sing
And why Isabel comes to watch me play

"Actually, I think it was the second song"
Leave it to Isabel
To pick out
The song about her
And it's my turn to blush
And her turn to smile

At least we've arrived

on to part three->
