lemons

Hey baby what's your hurry?
Are you late for a date with Destiny?
Well you wouldn't be the first to mistake her for me
We were nearing the corner of Third and Grand
Strolling downtown when you took my hand like real lovers do
Wasn't ready for you then still not ready for you, ready for you
I'm telling you love's like a lemon tree
Sipping a sav and you laugh at me but I mean it
Baby love goes sour but it once was so sweet

I tasted the sky blue eyes and hypnotized you
But I can't feel the way you want me to, I tried
Don't wake me I'm dreaming underneath our little lemon tree
When I told you you should wait for me, I lied

The angels in the city babe
Left their trace on the stages we used to sing
Keeping pace with the pages of our history
Always writing a song on your old guitar
Wild in love with a broken heart
You like the feeling
When the earth is shaking only you can hear cathedral bells ring
Looking for God every late night show
Dying for love you're my Romeo
But we're still breathing

I tasted the sky blue eyes and hypnotized you
But I can't feel the way you want me to, I tried
Don't wake me I'm dreaming underneath our little lemon tree
When I told you you should wait for me, I lied

I remember all the things that you said on that night
When we kissed under the streetlamps and moonlight
And I still wanna dance with you darlin' through this life no matter where we stand

I tasted the sky blue eyes and hypnotized you
But I can't feel the way you want me to, I tried
Don't wake me I'm dreaming underneath our little lemon tree
When I told you you should wait for me, I lied
