Lyrics

I asked "Lemon, please get off my mind"
She said "I can't do that, I'm confined"
I said "I think it's unfair that you can't breathe.
Please be nice, pretend it's Christmas Eve"

You've been stuck here since Forember
Can't you just remember 
How to go?

She said "I'm really sorry, it's not me
Can't you tell this to your diary?
Listen, I've moved on, I've met a boy named Pear
He's the sweetest, multi-pear-ionaire"

You've been stuck here since Forember
Can't you just remember 
How to go?

No. It's impossible
No. It's unfeasible
No. It's improbable
No. It's un-grapes-able

Next time that I think of you, I'll say
"I hope you'll have a really rotten day"
Then you'll say "I'm sorry, I was wrong
You and me will always have your song, and get along"

You've been stuck here since Forember
Can't you just remember
How to go?

No. It's impossible
No. It's unfeasible
No. It's improbable
No. It's im-peach-able

Toy Orchestra Version Lyrics

She said "I'm real sorry, it's not me
Can't you tell this to your diary?
Listen, I've moved on, I've met a boy named Pear
He's the sweetest, multi-millionaire"

You've been stuck here since Forember
Can't you just remember 
How to go?

No. It's impossible
No. It's unfeasible
No. It's improbable
No. It's unfeasible

Next time that I think of you, I'll say
"I hope you have a really rotten day"
Then you'll say "I'm sorry, I was wrong
You and me will always have a song, and get along"

You've been stuck here since Forember
Can't you just remember
How to go?

No. It's impossible
No. It's unfeasible
No. It's improbable
No. It's unfeasible
