Henry Jamison
You Are the Apple
[Intro]
You loved me best in an airplane
I slept the length of the Atlantic
When I awoke we had landed
For days on end I thought about it
[Bridge]
Had we crashed into the ocean
Had we perished in the sea
Had the mountain held us captive in his jacket, well, god forbid
I'd've been fine with that
'cause it would have saved me, yes, it would have saved me
It would have saved me, yes, it would have saved me
It would have saved me, yes, it would have saved me
It would have saved me from the look that you gave
When you left
[Verse 1]
Your lips so full that I could cry
Your lips so full that I could cry out my sockets, cry out my sockets
Your eyes so close that I could hide in the closet, hide in the closet
My heart so poor that I could wait for your hands in my pockets
My heart so broke that I could beg for affection, beg for affection
[Verse 2]
Now I only have eyes for you, you are the apple, you are the apple
You are the apple, you are the apple
The alligators are here, they're just under the water, under the water
Under the water, under the water
[Verse 3]
You devoured my heart, you devoured my heart like it was
Strawberry cake at a birthday celebration
But I still need your love, I still need your love
I need your love, I need your love, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge/Outro]
I still need your teeth around my organs
I still need your teeth around my organs
I still need your teeth around my organs
I still need your teeth around my organs
I still need your teeth around my organs
I still need your teeth around my organs
I still need your teeth around my organs
I still need your teeth around my organs
I still need your love, I still need your love for
You are the apple, you are the apple
