Apple Tree Swing is a song about idyllic never-ending summer and longing for love that is different from what they can get, set in Saint-Henri amidst the blossoming Open Mic scene of 2017.
lyrics
I've got a feeling that you must be right
I've got this noose on and my neck feels tight
If I'm in trouble, can I call you tonight
So we could be alone, just you and me
Yeah, I mean, we could be swinging from the apple tree
My friends are lovely, yeah they suit me just fine
The kind of people (That) takes a lifetime to find
But I'm so lonesome, I need someone to hold
I need somebody who can comfort me
Yeah, I mean, that I could swing with from the apple tree
(Hear me swing it to ya)
I'm moving in to your neighbourhood
Where everybody's always up to no good
If we can make it, I think we should try
'Cause if we never do, I'll never get to ease my mind
Not every story has a happy end
Well, the more you break a heart, the harder it is to mend
But I'm so hopeful, I'll keep trying my luck
Before I chuck it in to memories
Yeah I mean, before they chop down that old apple tree
You hear me singing, "If we don't do it
Yeah we'll never get to do it anytime, or anyhow"
