Lyrics
Haven't written in eight days
Haven't engaged in writing for eight days
Haven't written, haven't created
No creative output or expression during this time
Any new space Once found, now lost
Space once discovered is now lost
Somewhere between
In a state between September and winter frost
September and the winter frost
It didn't matter that I left town at all
Leaving town had no impact or significance
People move away and so did I
People move away, and the speaker did too
You only like the sweetness
Preference for sweetness in life
You only like the sweetness
Repetition emphasizing the desire for sweetness
Did we say to go our separate ways?
Questioning if a decision was made to part ways
Did I say that I've created
Claiming authorship of the created space
All this new space?
Reiteration of the lost space and its creation
Four letters I once wrote
Reference to four letters previously written
Trapped in the pocket of my coat
Letters trapped in the pocket, possibly unexpressed
It didn't matter that I left town at all
Leaving town holds no significance
People move away and so did I
Similar to line 8, reiteration of leaving
You only like the sweetness
Preference for the sweetness of a pink lady
Of a pink lady
Specific reference to a pink lady
I eat the seeds, but you'd
Speaker eats the seeds, contrasting with next line
Leave her whole
Preference for leaving the pink lady whole
If I was to be another type of lady
If the speaker were a different type of lady
You'd eat the seeds
Contrasting action: eating seeds in this scenario
But I'd leave her whole
Preference for leaving the alternative lady whole
It didn't matter that I left town at all
Leaving town remains inconsequential
People move away and so did I
Reiteration of people moving away
You only like the sweetness
Repetition of preference for the sweetness of a pink lady
Of a pink lady
Reiteration of the specific reference to a pink lady
I eat the seeds
Continued action of eating seeds
But you'd leave her whole
Preference for leaving the pink lady whole
If I was to be another type of lady
Repetition of the hypothetical scenario with a different lady
You'd eat the seeds
Continued action of eating seeds
But I'd leave her whole
Preference for leaving the alternative lady whole
You only like the sweetness
Repetition of the preference for the sweetness of a pink lady
Of a pink lady
Reiteration of the specific reference to a pink lady
I eat the seeds
Continued action of eating seeds
But you'd leave her whole
Preference for leaving the pink lady whole
If I was to be another type of lady
Repetition of the hypothetical scenario with a different lady
You'd eat the seeds
Continued action of eating seeds
But I'd leave her whole
Preference for leaving the alternative lady whole
