Apples
[Verse 1]

You change from winter to the spring while I am sleeping
Beneath these apple trees of sorrow grown for me
I read the letters in your pocket; they says you're starving now
It's usually reckless to write something we don't mean


[Chorus (with two singers)]

And I could sit days but you wouldn't care
(And talk, talk away from my heart)
And see those carvings in the tree we share
(I know that it is all of the moments)
I know that it is all of the moments that I spend with you
(I spend them away from my heart)
I suddenly feel that none of them were true
(I know the leaves are falling for you)
Falling for you, fading for me
Those bright lights just ain't lights of love left to be
And now I'm like "hey, what's going on?"
Oh-uh-uh


[Verse 2]

I lay down by the fire warming up my bones
'Cause it's freezing and the only thing I want is to melt
I wish I had the wherewithal to do so but I'm so alone
Don't you know that it ain't so nice to be fooling around?
Picking my heart up to throw it away


[Chorus (with two singers)]

And I could sit days but you wouldn't care
(And talk, talk away from my heart)
And see those carvings in the tree we share
(I know that it is all of the moments)
I know that it is all of the moments that I spend with you
(I spend them away from my heart)
I suddenly feel that none of them were true
(I know the leaves are falling for you)
Falling for you, fading for me
Those bright lights just ain't lights of love left to be
And now I'm like "hey, what's going on?"
Oh-uh-uh

[Alternate Chorus (with two singers)]

And now I sit days as the days go by
And nothing seems clear as I clearly try
(I clearly try to figure out why)
I clearly try to figure out why I fell in love so hard
(I fell down the hole in my heart)
It must be these apples that I ate at the start
(And in the end Im calling for you)
And in the end I'm calling for you
Oh please, answer me!
Those bright lights are still lights that I'd like to see
And now I'm like "hey, what's going on?"
I don't know...
