Crushed Lemons
Crushed Lemons: A Sweet Sip into Love's Bitterness
Lyrics
Want thirds, when given seconds
Desire for more, seeking additional portions when already given some
There is a thirst to all beginnings
Every beginning has a sense of longing or desire
When we can work, there is no limit
Limitless potential when one is able to work
I want a drink made from crushed lemons
Expressing a specific desire for a refreshing drink made from crushed lemons
It's that easy to bring something sweet
Highlighting the simplicity of bringing joy or sweetness into life
To stay awhile, to talk baby
Desire for a lasting connection or conversation
I watch your lips move while you eat
Observing someone while they eat, possibly finding enjoyment in small details
My eyes are closed when you get up to leave
Imagery of closing eyes when someone departs, possibly indicating a reluctance to see them go
Why would you search, when you seen heaven?
Raising a rhetorical question about the need to search for heaven when it's already experienced
Some things just bloom beyond abandon
Some things blossom naturally without restraint
That tired dance, the endless women
Reference to a repetitive and tiring dance involving numerous women
But I want a drink made from crushed lemons
Reiteration of the desire for a drink made from crushed lemons
It's that easy to bring something sweet
Emphasizing the ease of bringing joy or sweetness into life
To stay awhile, to talk baby
Desire for prolonged moments and meaningful conversations
I watch your lips move while you eat
Observing someone's lips while they eat, possibly finding intimacy in mundane moments
My eyes are closed when you get up to leave
Imagery of closing eyes upon departure, suggesting a reluctance to see the person leave
That pulp can sting, come press it in
Describing the potential pain in relationships ("that pulp can sting"), asking for understanding and comfort
Pick out the seeds, oh comfort me
Metaphorically asking for support and care in removing difficulties ("pick out the seeds, oh comfort me")
When love is mine, I swear to try
A commitment to try and maintain love when it is present
I want a drink made from crushed lemons
Reiteration of the desire for a drink made from crushed lemons
I want a drink made from crushed lemons
Expressing the desire for a refreshing drink made from crushed lemons
I want a drink made from crushed lemons
Repetition of the longing for a drink made from crushed lemons
