Apples
My Brightest Diamond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like to see the apple blossoms with you
Sometimes in the winter
I like to see snow falling with you
Once we took apples from my grandfather's tree
But I had nowhere to plant the seed
So we baked them with sugar
And we ate them
Sometimes on Saturdays
When it's raining we do laundry
Especially when I like to watch you
Fold so carefully the clothes
Especially when I like to watch you
Move your fingers slow

Sometimes in the spring time
Occasionally during the spring season
I like to see the apple blossoms with you
I enjoy observing the flowers on the apple trees with you
Sometimes in the winter
At times during the winter
I like to see snow falling with you
I take pleasure in watching snow come down with you
Once we took apples from my grandfather's tree
Previously, we gathered apples off my grandfather's apple tree
But I had nowhere to plant the seed
However, I lacked the space to sow the apple seed
So we baked them with sugar
As a solution, we baked the apples along with sugar
And we ate them
Afterwards, we consumed the baked apples
Sometimes on Saturdays
Every so often on Saturdays
When it's raining we do laundry
When it's raining outside, we engage in laundry
Especially when I like to watch you
Primarily, I adore beholding you
Fold so carefully the clothes
Folding the attire with immense caution
Especially when I like to watch you
Again, I relish gazing upon your actions
Move your fingers slow
As you gradually manipulate your fingers
