Little friend,
What ever happened?
You should know I went down so hard trying to keep the family together,
The family together.
Sweet friend,
Know I love you and I've been struggling so hard so hard trying to keep the family together,
The family together.

When I look in your eyes
I see me looking back.
It's kind of creepy how you own my heart.
Yeah, you own my heart.
Yeah, you own my heart.

Let's stay together.

Sweet friend,
Was I born to give you a name and then be erased
All because I couldn't keep it together,
Couldn't keep it together?

Little friend,
I know I've made it so, so much harder on us
And lost you because I
Couldn't keep it together.

When I look in your eyes
I see me looking back.
It's kind of creepy how you own my heart.
Yeah, you own my heart.
Yeah, you own my heart.

Let's stay together.

    General Comment:I love this song because it's so atypical of Of Montreal. Just an acoustic guitar and Kevin (metaphorically) weeping into it.
    Oh Alabee!

    all because I couldn't keep it together,
    couldn't keep it together?"
