2. Having recently supported The View, Larrikin Love, The Rifles, The Modern and The Holloways, Fruition are taking great pleasure in giving their music to the masses. They take to the stage with a great energy and always entertain. All from a little village called Pirton the boys strive to bring a sense of community and passion to the procedings
The band has worked hard on creating their own style influenced by rather than sounding like the bands that have inspired the individual members. They also work hard in the studio to make the tunes released give people the same energy they feel at the live shows. Not content with what they have got they are going out to grab everyone and get them jumping.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

i lost myself, i've been rearranged, and you're the one to change my worried mind
you said i could lay my head right down if that's the least to do to keep from cryin'
and we give and take, rest and wait, and winter is knockin' at our doors
the fallen leaves and bitter breeze, they're just tryin' to warn us what we're in for

but please don't worry, cuz you got time to reconcile with your fear
and there ain't no hurry, cuz i will bide my time until you come by here

you say that i'm a special one but still it seems to take you by surprise
so how can i convey to you that i can see my future in your eyes?
we give and take, rest and wait, and winter is knockin' at our doors
the fallen leaves and bitter breeze, they're just tryin' to warn us what we're in for

but please don't worry, cuz you got time to reconcile with your fear
and there ain't no hurry, cuz i will bide my time until you come by here

yes i will bide my time until you come by here
i will bide my time until you come by here

The singer speaks of rearranging oneself and trying to cope with the change, but having no choice but to face the impending winter, which is symbolic of difficult times. However, despite the challenges, the singer assures the listener that there is time to reconcile with one's fears, and there is no need to hurry. The singer will be patient until the person returns.

The singer seems to be relying heavily on the person they are addressing, who they believe is a special one, to help them through the difficult times. The person brings comfort to the singer just by being present, and so they ask that they stick around until the singer feels like themselves again. The refrain of "we give and take, rest and wait" reiterates the idea that the nature of the relationship is one of teamwork and mutual support.
