Fruition Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
with a box of wine and a smile
she'd soaked up the eyes that'd been on her all day
she could see them for so many miles
they wanted her beauty, they wanted her soul
with no blessings to wish upon
and i commend her for having nothing to show
to anybody whose dreams are gone
make me weak, stay strong, hold fast, it won't be long
til you'll turn your love to the ones you ain't had time to take time to think of
turn your love to the ones you ain't had time to take time, take time to think of
i'd be lyin' if i told you my head was aligned but i seem to be doing alright
and i'll try my best not to expect you to stay all night
you make me weak, so stay strong, hold fast, it won't be long
til you'll turn your love to the ones you ain't had time to take time to think of
turn your love to the ones you ain't had time to take time, take time to think of
she came runnin' down the southside of skidmore, westbound
with a box of wine and a smile
