I was supposed to be sent away

But they forgot to come and get me

I was a functioning alcoholic

'Til nobody noticed my new aesthetic

All of this to say

I hope you're okay

But you're the reason

And no one here's to blame

But what about your quiet treason?

And for a fortnight there

We were forever

Run into you sometimes

Ask about the weather

Now you're in my backyard

Turned into good neighbors

Your wife waters flowers

I want to kill her

All my mornings are Mondays

Stuck in an endless February

I took the miracle move-on-drug

The effects were temporary

And I love you

It's ruining my life

(I love you, it's ruining my life)

I touched you

For only a fortnight

(I touched you)

But I touched you

And for a fortnight there

We were forever

Run into you sometimes

Ask about the weather

Now you're in my backyard

Turned into good neighbors

Your wife waters flowers

I want to kill her

And for a fortnight there

We were together

Run into you sometimes

Comment on my sweater

Now you're at the mailbox

Turned into good neighbors

My husband is cheating

I want to kill him

I love you

It's ruining my life

(I love you, it's ruining my life)

I touched you for only a fortnight

(I touched you)

I touched you

I love you

It's ruining my life

(I love you, it's ruining my life)

I touched you for only a fortnight

(I touched you)

I touched you

Thought of calling ya

But you won't pick up

Another fortnight lost in America

Move to Florida

Buy the car you want

But it won't start up

'Til you touch, touch, touch me

Thought of calling ya

But you won't pick up

Another fortnight lost in America

Move to Florida

Buy the car you want

But it won't start up

'Til I touch, touch, touch you
