Ben Lee - Ripe lyrics

The moon sheds light across the end of the bed

You made me wait but now I’m touching your leg

And I remember all the little things that you said

Quesadillas made with cheese and a rock band who were Japanese.

So for once

In my life I saw what I wanted

And took a bite

I picked the fruit from the tree

And it was ripe

Your love got big your jokes got worse each afternoon

Like Bacon at a bah Mitzvah like a lead balloon

And whose to say what really happened in that room each day

I was looking for a bride, you were looking for a groom.

So for once in your life

You saw what you wanted and took a bite

You picked the fruit from the tree and it was ripe.

And all you people are the heroes I’ve known

We’re staring off the edge into the unknown

We *are not there yet* but we cannot go home

So we cry and we sing

Yeah I remember everything

How for once in our lives

We saw what we wanted and took a bite.

We picked the fruit from the tree and it was ripe.

And it was ripe, and it was ripe, and it was ripe.
