Ripe

To leave it alone would feel much better
It's easier said than done, but still I try
Maybe I should just forget her
She was the ripest of all, the pride of the tree
Abandoned her home – had to go and see the world, oh
Pictures with time, they get sacred
Our picture's the only thing that's stayed the same
But I made up my mind that I'd get through it
She was the ripest of all, the pride of the tree
Abandoned her home and she split two families
She got it all if she'd only come and grab it
She dropped the ball, like she don't even care
She never calls and I don't think she's going to
It's been too long – is it too long to repair...
There's no one to blame, but ain't it all just such a shame
Where are you now that we're much older?
How do you feel with all you left behind?
Do you ever stop and think about it?
D'ya think about the ripest of all, that was blown by the wind
Grew up from a seed that you planted long ago
You got it all if you'd only come and grab it
You dropped the ball, like you don't even care
You never call and I don't think you going to
It's been too long – is it too long to repair...
Oh, you got it all if you'd only come and grab it
You dropped the ball, like you don't even care
You never call and I don't think that I want you to
It's been too long – is it too long to repair yeah yeah
