In the garden
Drying rosemary and thyme
On the highway
Eating sour clementines
I would try to hold on fast
But I'm prone to letting things go
Spare me spices
Just a little bit of your time
Give me rice
It's just like what I left behind
Is it something novel
Or something that we both already know?
They say Moroccan fruit are always sweeter
Than the ones from California
And I tried to warn you
But it probably just came out like rain
We barely even had winter
It was spring in December
A year to remember
Sugar season came early
Maybe I'm just addicted to change
And your therapist told me
Everyone's got the same damn shit going on around this time
You know that it's nothing to fear
And this orange is blood red
And my shoes
They are falling apart by the soles and the seams
But they won't be by this time next year
Now it's almost the springtime
And the apple trees are dropping
Off their branches
'Cause it's finally snowing
With storms coming out of the west
Fields of bowed-over bushes
And the sugar stopped flowing
And I stopped pretending
All these things that we're owing
Are just part of the process I guess
And your therapist told me
Everyone's got the same damn shit going on around this time
You know that it's nothing to fear
And this orange is blood red
And my shoes
They are falling apart by the soles and the seams
But they won't be by this time next year
In the garden
Drying rosemary and thyme
On the highway
Eating sour clementines
I would try to hold on fast
But I'm prone to letting things go
Spare me spices
Just a little bit of your time
Give me rice
It's just like what I left behind
Is it something novel
Or something that we both already know?
And you drove us to the museum
A couple of times
Like you
I just thought that I needed some time
To decide on the things we do
Like lying on a blanket
In the middle of a field at night
And I know
That you like to know just where you stand
And I don't think that either of us understands
But I'll still give you lavender honey
By the pond
'Cause I know
That we're doing the best that we can
Drying rosemary and thyme
On the highway
Eating sour clementines
I would try to hold on fast
But I'm prone to letting things go
Spare me spices
Just a little bit of your time
Give me rice
It's just like what I left behind
Is it something novel
Or something that we both already know?
They say Moroccan fruit are always sweeter
Than the ones from California
And I tried to warn you
But it probably just came out like rain
We barely even had winter
It was spring in December
