"State Of Peaches" lyrics
Sweet peach
Sour plum
If you give some away
Just promise you'll save me some
The sweetest thing
That God's ever done
If you give it away
Just promise you'll save me some
Me some
No one else will ever truly know you like I know you
Last year 'round this time, someone say they saw you in Whole Foods
So I bust a U-turn right on Peachtree, heading that way
Just to get a glimpse of your face 'cause life without you ain't the same
I miss you so damn bad that I can't sleep at night
I miss you so damn bad, I hope you miss me twice
I saw your mother today, she said you just got back home
Asleep from the drive, I should come by later on
But all I wanted to know is if you came back alone
Alone
Sweet peach
Sweet peach
Sour plum
Sour plum
If you give some away
Give it
Just promise you'll save me some
You'll save me some
The sweetest thing
La-da-da-da, da, la-da, da-da-da
La-da-da-da, da
That God's ever done
La-da-da-da, da, da-da, da-da-da
La-da-da-da, da
Mm-hmm, yeah
How long has it been?
Long has it been?
Three summers
Yeah
Four winters
Maybe younger
I had to piece myself together
And I heard you had to piece yourself together
Even in failure but forever, familiar
Ain't nothing like somebody that knows you (Knows)
Ain't nothing like somebody that owes you a hug or two
I miss you so damn bad that I can't sleep at night
Can't sleep at night
I miss you so damn bad, I hope you miss me twice
Sweet peach
Sweet peach
Sour plum
Sour plum
If you give some away
Give it away
Just promise you'll save me some
You'll save me some
Mm-hmm
I'm from the state of sweet peaches
But these days, you don't say
It's more like leeches
And you're too beautiful to be concerned about masculine features
It's bad when the preachers can't even teach us what love is
You're right here, but you should be above this
Hmm, prophecies and scriptures can't stand a chance against love's pendulum
Reflections of one's self
You're listenin', but you ain't hearin' 'em
The best you yet
I see you gettin' upset
What I'm tryna say is stars don't even compare
If you die before you live, it's like you never was there
You can't care if you unaware
Hmm
And I can't care 'bout you if you ain't here
And she say, "Fair."
I miss you so damn bad that I can't sleep at night
Can't sleep at night
I miss you so damn bad, I hope you miss me twice
Sweet peach
Sweet peach
Sour plum
Sour plum
If you give some away
Give it away
Just promise you'll save me some
You'll save me some
The sweetest thing
You're the sweetest that God's ever done
That God's ever done
If you give it away
If you give it away
Just promise you'll save me some
Promise me you'll save me some
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Baby
Sour plum
If you give some away
Just promise you'll save me some
The sweetest thing
That God's ever done
If you give it away
Just promise you'll save me some
Me some
No one else will ever truly know you like I know you
Last year 'round this time, someone say they saw you in Whole Foods
So I bust a U-turn right on Peachtree, heading that way
Just to get a glimpse of your face 'cause life without you ain't the same
