Liz said about the song in a 2018 interview with Rolling Stone,
“It’s an ordinary person doing ordinary things, and the action in the song is really just about relating to another person. It feels like an action-packed song. You’ve done a lot, you’ve been a lot, you’ve seen a lot, you’ve heard a lo...
[Verse 1]
And when I asked for a separate room
It was late at night, and we'd been driving since noon
But if I'd known how that would sound to you
I would have stayed in your bed for the rest of my life
Just to prove I was right
That it's harder to be friends than lovers
And you shouldn't try to mix the two
'Cause if you do it and you're still unhappy
Then you know that the problem is you
[Verse 2]
And it's true that I stole your lighter
And it's also true that I lost the map
But when you said that I wasn't worth talking to
I had to take your word on that
But if you'd known how that would sound to me
You would have taken it back
And boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Burned it up and thrown it away
[Verse 3]
You put in my hands a loaded gun
And then told me not to fire it
When you did the things you said were up to me
And then accused me of trying to fuck it up
[Chorus]
But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be alright
[Verse 4]
And the license said you had to stick around
Until I was dead
But if you're tired of looking at my face
I guess I already am
[Chorus]
But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be alright
Divorce Song was written by Liz Phair.
Liz Phair released Divorce Song on Tue Jun 22 1993.
Phair told Rolling Stone:
I’m not surprised that people pick [“Divorce Song” and “Fuck and Run”] out as their favorites. Again, it has that deadpan delivery. It’s an ordinary person doing ordinary things, and the action in the song is really just about relating to another person. It feels like an a...
