I wrote Sour Grapes the day after quitting a job. I was feeling a bit out of control and wasn’t sure what the future would hold for me. I was also having issues in a relationship.

I need to think things through.
I need a day or two.
I need a second or two.
One, two.
 
I used to be a boss
Now I’m just a follower
I used to be a leader
Now I’m just a borrower
Sour grapes.
I used to be the best 
Now I’m really not
I was dispossessed 
I missed my shot
Sour grapes.
Don’t take
Don’t take your love away.
Don’t break
Our portrait on display.
Me and You
One, two!
 
“You can’t hurry love 
Oh you’ll just have to wait.
They say love don’t come easy
It’s a game of give and take” X2
 
It’s a game of give—
Don’t take!
Don’t take your love away.
Don’t break
Our portrait on display.
Me and You
One, two!
 
I used to be a boss
Now I’m just a follower
I used to be a leader
Now I’m just a borrower
I used to be the best 
Now I’m really not
I was dispossessed
I missed my shot
 
I used to be a boss
Now I’m just a follower
I used to be a leader
Now I’m just a borrower
Sour grapes.
I used to be the best 
Now I’m really not
I was dispossessed 
I missed my shot
Sour grapes. X3
