Lyrics:

[English]

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

Chorus 

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
