Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Liz Phair or about the 1990s in general.

Indie rocker Liz Phair was still in college when she wrote this song, about a married couple whose relationship starts to disintegrate on a tense road trip through Ireland. At the time, she was inspired to create the song while trying to sort out a friends-with-benefits-type relationship with one of her own classmates.

Like the couple in the song, the pair went on a road trip and found themselves at a motel, wondering if they should spend the night together. In the mind of Liz Phair, the couple needed to consult with a divorce specialist to get advice on how to go about ending their relationship amicably.

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
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
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
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
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
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
