Apple Tree Lyrics

There was a time and a place

I tried but I couldn't stay

I heard my breath give way

Isn't it such a shame

But I'm still showing up in the rearview mirror

So many things are going through my head

Things are closer than they may appear

But I guess now I've made my bed

I'm sleeping on me

Oh what a quandary

Digging through my laundry

I'm seeing stains that I can't take away

Oh

I know I gotta let go

Sometimes I wish it wasn't so

But there's nothing else to hold on to

No

The things I'd rather know

They're falling out of vogue

And I'm following along

New things are always in place

Never staying exactly the same

Other times there's never a change

When I wish there would be

And I'm still blowing up from the inside out

The signals blinking even faster now

Red for ripe but I'm still not grown

Doesn't matter cause here comes the fall

I'm sleeping on me

Oh what a quandary

Digging through my laundry

I'm seeing stains that I can't take away

Oh

I know I gotta let go

Sometimes I wish it wasn't so

But there's nothing else to hold on to

No

The things I'd rather know

They're falling out of vogue

And I'm following along

But I would like to believe

There's a better way, a better me

I would love to see

All the trees, their fallen leaves

But somehow there's no such thing as an orchard

It's just how you grow on your own

The forest for the trees

Man I'd rather just be me

Oh

I know I gotta let go

Sometimes I wish it wasn't so

But there's nothing else to hold on to

No

The things I'd rather know

They're falling out of vogue

And I'm following along
