Green Apples
Leaving Green Apples: A Poignant Tale of Lost Forever
Lyrics
We were just two blades of grass on the wind
Metaphorically, they were insignificant parts of a larger whole, striving for change.
Trying to change the world
Attempting to make a difference in the world.
And to control everything
Desiring authority over circumstances.
Thought it was forever, you and me
Believed their connection was enduring.
Who could have known how short
Unaware of how brief their "forever" would actually be.
Our forever would be
Highlighting the unexpected brevity of their relationship.
Leave the green apples on the tree
Suggesting to leave unattainable or unrealistic desires untouched.
Some things are just not meant to be
Accepting that certain things cannot come to fruition.
Leave the green apples on the tree
Reiterating the idea of leaving unachievable aspirations alone.
Some things are just not meant to be
Emphasizing that some desires are beyond reach.
Now it's so long ago that you were mine
Reflecting on a distant past when the person was in a relationship.
What a shame that we can't turn back time
Expressing regret about the inability to reverse time.
It's just like my mother said to me
Recalling advice given, implying the inability to change certain outcomes.
Leave the green apples on the tree
Reiterating the idea of letting go of unattainable goals.
Leave the green apples on the tree
Reinforcing the notion of leaving unrealistic desires untouched.
Some things are just not meant to be
Stressing the acceptance of things that cannot be realized.
Leave the green apples on the tree
Reemphasizing the idea of letting go of unattainable aspirations.
Some things are just not meant to be
Reiterating the acceptance of unachievable desires.
