Cover art for Divided lyrics by Tegan and Sara

This is the time where the two of them really didn't get along. Sara and Tegan were just out of high school and they had just months before decided to not go to university and be in a band together. Then Sara got into a relationship and was distracted from being in the band and everything else in her life. She had told her mom later that she would be be in the band with Tegan for a little while because Tegan didn't have much going on for her(as told by tegan's point of view). And their mother stuck them into therapy in which they were soon after removed from therapy for harassing the therapist. Somewhere in this time period Tegan wrote this song for Sara.

During the live shows she sings "The shows are cheaper they don't mind when I put my feet up / Sara's out on the highway" and it ends with the fist verse. The last line they sing in the live version is "Go ahead and tell me what my future looks like"
