Sour Me. Ooh, Ouch!
I was friendly with this girl,
Who insisted on touching my face
She told outrageous stories
I believed them
'Til the endings were changing from endings before
She's not touching me anymore
Untogether, I couldn't help her I got hard
You can try your life
You can't save the unsaveably untogether
I was shipwrecked with this frog,
Who was endlessly testing my faith
He made outrageous demands
I ignored him
'Til I strapped on my boat-feet and surfed into shore
He's not touching me anymore
Untogether, I couldn't help him I got hard
You can try your life
You can't change the unchangeably untogether
Now the bird nest on my back
Keeps me turning and straining to see
We threw outrageous parties
We were golden
Now the bird keeps her distance, and I keep my speed
Sometimes there's no poison like a dream
Untogether, I couldn't help it, it got hard
You can dry your eyes
We can't hold the impossibly untogether
