Wanna taste that peach?
That one way up there?
It knows it’s out of your reach
And it ain’t fair, but it don’t care
Cause baby it’s a stonefruit
Soft and sweet on the outside
Oh, it may be lush to the touch but don’t you dig too deep
Cause baby with a stonefruit
Once you get to the inside
Oh, it’s just a poison pit
So boy, just quit while you’re ahead
And get with me instead
Can’t deny it’ll please the eye
Titillate the tongue
But if you want it all
Oh, you gotta swallow that hard rock heart, that lumpy lung
So think twice before you bite
Cause baby it’s a stonefruit
Soft and sweet on the outside
Oh, it may be lush to the touch but don’t you dig too deep
Cause baby with a stonefruit
Once you get to the inside
Oh, it’s just a poison pit
So boy, just quit while you’re ahead
And get with me instead
What turned your heart to stone?
Wonder why you’re lovely yet alone?
Well, it’s no one’s fault except your own
Go ahead, have your fill
As long as you know
When sweetness ends, as sweetness will
And all that’s left’s a bitter told-you-so
Don’t come crying to me
‘Cause you see
You ain’t ever gonna be sated in your soul
So my dear
Save yourself the trouble and the tears
And the ultimately unfulfilling years
And don’t say I didn’t warn you
No, don’t say I didn’t warn you
About a stonefruit
Soft and sweet on the outside
Oh, it may be lush to the touch but don’t you dig too deep
Cause baby with a stonefruit
Once you get to the inside
Oh, it’s just a poison pit
So avoid that shit
And quit while you’re ahead
And get with me instead

Lilacs

Fragrant sting of signaled spring
A tune you lost but loved to sing
When now was then
And if you see that song in me
Let silence hold your elegy
Until it’s time to love again
And i’ll meet you where the lilacs bloom
Lay down your lilies
Once your eyes have dried
A new bouquet’s round the corner
In the meantime
Aromas scheme to fill the stream
For glassy eyes too bruised to dream
For dreaming hurts
When every scent means hours spent
Wondering where the feelings went
And what they meant, and who was first
And what if you saw a lilac bloom?
Lay down your lilies
Once your eyes have dried
A new bouquet’s round the corner
In the meantime
I’ll be patient, don’t you worry
Worst thing you could do
Is hurry into loving someone new
Oh, the seasons change and so will you
And maybe soon, you’ll let a lilac bloom

Sweet Pea

There’s a certain special something to her
That you won’t find in many other
Girls in the world today
It’s hard to put to words but it makes me sure
She’ll find her way
Confidentially she’s scared like us all
But on the surface is a stone wall
Grinning, bearing, getting by
And holding on until the day her smile
Isn’t just another lie
Go on sweet pea, it’s all in your able hands
Nothing that you can do, don’t you understand
Keep your head toward future opportunity
And don’t forget just how much you mean to me
While you’re gone
There’s a certain shimmer there in her eye
You’ll barely notice as you pass by
But it speaks loud and clear
And it says, “look out, lemme tell you why
Ain’t no room for your rules here”
Simultaneously she’ll put you at ease
A silly smile and a little tease
And she’s friends with the world
You will learn a thing or two about love
From living with this girl
Go on sweet pea, it’s all in your able hands
Nothing that you can do, don’t you understand
Keep your head toward future opportunity
And don’t forget just how much you mean to me
While you’re gone
While you’re gone, we’ll be here
Far away but always near
Even though you’re on your own
You don’t have to feel alone
No you’ll never be alone
Sweet pea, there a long road ahead
But if you heard a word that I said
Then I think that you’ll see
You deserve to take some pride
In how proud you’ve made me
Go on sweet pea, it’s all in your able hands
Nothing that you can do, don’t you understand
Keep your head toward future opportunity
And don’t forget just how much you mean to me
While you’re gone
