about

Some people just don't suit each other, despite that initial attraction. The relationship is doomed to fail. But let's celebrate it in a song.

lyrics

So opposites attract?
Is that a fact?
I think the odds against us are stacked.
Oh, here's a plan,
a dire Venn diagram of you and I,
our circles barely touch,
cos' you and I Can't Align.

Our paths diverge,
although hormones surged,
it's not to say we fought back the urge.
Is there no cure?
Our future obscure?
Let's not get hasty or premature,
though you and I can't align.

Too many wheels stopped turning,
torches stopped their burning,
too many feelings hurting now.

If black was grey,
and if tears were waves,
you and I could ride them,
‘cos you and I can't align.
