lyrics

ONE-NOTE SONG

We made beautiful music once
But those days are long past
Now our melody’s worn out
And I don’t know if we can last

Finding a note for everything
Writing a symphony to sing for you
But you’re a one-note song
And there’s not much I can do with you

I’m so sick of your dissonance
Your blue notes and your pain
You chant “I Am the Walrus”
Whenever I sing “Penny Lane”

Finding a chord for you and me
Is pulling my sense of harmony in two
'Cause you’re a one-note song
And there’s not much I can do with you

And now I know the score
Yeah, we’re through
That’s what the coda’s for
Me and you, we move in parallel fifths
And I know I can’t survive

And now you’ve been following me around
Like a tune stuck in my head
I’m so sick of the chorus
I need a another tune instead

Finding a song that’s in my range
Is proving to be a welcome change from you
'Cause you’re a one-note song
And there’s not much I can do with you
