Du du du, durururu du du du
Yeaheah
Oh, i must mind my eyes
Wandering around and getting me into trouble
And if i dont mind my step
I think that i might miss a really big fall
So much fun when ship sets sail
Almost like a fairy tale
But then love goes to my brain
So much fun but, i just can’t stay
And if i ever want to take that chance
There’s something in my head i know you just can’t see
Seems good and fun for now, i might even laugh
But we both know what just one more sip does, yeah you’ll hurt me
Too bitter when its ripe, i don’t want a taste
All of my emotions will just get in the way
Been blind to it all my life, i just feel afraid
I’ll never bite, i’ll never bite the pain
Sour, even when i drink it real fast
Sour, feels too good to ever last
Try your best, but i just feel afraid
Love is sour, love is sour grapes
Up there bright and round,
Out of reach to me from down here on the ground
If i could reach up high
Thorns might tear my sleeve and break this heart of mine
Even if i ask for help, or try to climb up by myself
Use the branches up real high, i’ll always fall back from the sky
And if i ever want to take that chance
There’s something in my head i know you just can’t see
Seems good and fun for now, i might even laugh
But we both know what just one more sip does, yeah you’ll hurt me
Too bitter when its ripe, i don’t want a taste
All of my emotions will just get in the way
Been blind to it all my life, i just feel afraid
I’ll never bite, i’ll never bite the pain
Sour, even when i drink it real fast
Sour, feels too good to ever last
Try your best, but i just feel afraid
Love is sour, love is sour grapes
Don’t get me wrong, you weren’t mister right
“Cause Loves not enough” dont try and change my mind, cause when you are gone
Think about it all day, all night
Yeah
My heart is racing as i have a taste
Your lips on mine, no feelings in the way
Everything just moved so fast, i couldn’t even see
I’m feeling scared, i’m feeling scared yeah
Sour, oh no this time i’m gonna cry
Sour, hurts so bad think that i’m gonna die
I always crave it, but i just feel afraid
Love is sour, love is sour grapes
So this has always since the day i heard it resonated with me. I’m personally going through a lot in my current relationship and truthfully haven’t had much luck in my past either. This honestly has lead me to the feeling of being afraid now when I start to notice myself getting carried away. I’d never heard the phrase “love is sour grapes” before hearing the song, and this line honestly i might get tattooed onto me because being in love is a gamble. You have to put your heart, your trust, your time, and your pride all on the line, and most times this won’t be reciprocated, only a handful of people will click with you correctly. That being said, the idea of falling in love to me at this stage in my life is so scary because well… i’m already in love and it hurts a lot.
Anyways, i hope that this resonates with you guys! Ive never really written lyrics with the constraints of an entire song already existing with verse lengths and linen lengths and pseudo ad-libs built in so it was actually kind of difficult, but it really made me connect with the song a little more. Anyways enjoy!
