Crossroad

Against both her will and power
I keep busy walking through the day alone
High as grass in a yard untaxed
and going low as a baritone
Couldn’t help but think then
You and me always had it in for each other

You a 61 crossroad
Me a 49 crossroad
Amongst both her trees and flowers

I keep envy stashed beneath the stones
You want to pick up the pieces to me are trash

Against both her will and power
Despite her desires and abilities

I keep busy walking through the day alone
I am constantly occupied and solitary throughout the day

High as grass in a yard untaxed
Feeling elevated and unrestricted like untaxed grass in a yard

And going low as a baritone
Sinking deep, like the low notes of a baritone voice

Couldn’t help but think then
I couldn't resist pondering at that moment

You and me always had it in for each other
You and I always had a conflict or grudge against each other

You a 61 crossroad
You represent a pivotal moment or decision in your life

Me a 49 crossroad
I too am facing a critical point or choice

Amongst both her trees and flowers
Amidst the presence of nature around her

I keep envy stashed beneath the stones
I conceal my feelings of envy beneath the surface

You want to pick up the pieces to me are trash
To me, your attempts to reconcile or fix things are worthless
