Pomegranate Lyrics

I keep plucking the seeds

Of these pomegranates that you gave to me

I scoop them out

I put them all swirling inside of my mouth

Sometimes I hold them in

Afraid that I’ll choke

But it’s hard to taste seeds

When they fall right down your throat

My mother always told me

“Don’t eat the seeds”

But I was hoping something would grow inside of me

My mother always told me

“Those seeds will take root”

But are pomegranates seeds

Or are they fruit?

Pomegranates line my entire window sill

I’m trying to eat them all

I’ve got a whole stomach to fill

You told me they were sweet

And I believed what I heard

So I swallowed them whole

Just like I swallowed your every word

My mother always told me

“Don’t eat the seeds”

But I was hoping something would grow inside of me

My mother always told me

“Those seeds will take root”

But are pomegranates seeds

Or are they fruit?

I keep swallowing these seeds

Devouring them whole

Swallowing these seeds that I want so badly to grow

Devouring the seeds that I want to take root

But none of them ever sprout

And I didn’t even taste the fruit

My mother always told me

“Don’t eat the seeds”

But I was hoping something would grow inside of me

My mother always told me

“Those seeds will take root”

But are pomegranates seeds

Or are they fruit?
