I Didn't Jump the Fence
Love's Lament: Unraveling the Tale of Forbidden Fruit
Lyrics
(She's the one got lonely I didn't jump the fence)
She is the one who felt lonely; the singer did not engage in infidelity.
Mr Angry neighbor yes I know just how you feel
Acknowledging the anger of the neighbor and empathizing with the emotions.
Cause I've been taking your fruit but don't tell me I steal
Asserting innocence about stealing, referencing taking fruit without malintent.
I haven't been in your yard my tracks ain't on your ground
Denying trespassing into the neighbor's yard; denying any physical presence there.
Your tree hangs over my fence the nights you're not around
Explaining that the neighbor's tree extends over the singer's fence on certain nights.
I didn't jump the fence the fruit was offered free
Clarifying that the fruit was not stolen but offered freely.
I couldn't reach your apples if you just trimmed the tree
Suggesting that access to the fruit could be achieved if the neighbor trimmed the tree.
Well sure I've held your darling but Mister where's your sense
Admitting to holding the neighbor's significant other but questioning the neighbor's judgment.
She's the one got lonely I didn't jump the fence
Reiterating that the neighbor's partner felt lonely, emphasizing innocence.
Now friend you see that little trail that runs between our home
Pointing out a trail between homes and disassociating from any wrongdoing related to it.
These ain't the shoes that wore it there the nights that you were gone
Claiming that the shoes don't match the ones who walked the trail during the neighbor's absence.
So don't show me your anger or shout I stole a kiss
Rejecting accusations of stealing a kiss, asserting the innocence of not jumping the fence.
When she did all the walking I didn't jump the fence
Highlighting that the neighbor's partner took the initiative in their interactions.
I didn't jump the fence...
Repeating the assertion of innocence and not jumping the fence.
