Orchard from Cliff Jumper by Miriam Maaravi

If I cry in the cab on the way home
Does that mean it's real?
Movies taught me pain is love
And love's all that I feel
Well is this love
Or just the scab I refuse to let heal?
Stopped at the red light
I'm crumbling like clementine peels

I wanna love like I've never been hurt
I want something that means more than your words
If you only love me when you let me go
That's not love that's the consequence of unstable homes

And I can't keep burning from both ends bright
Your damn florescents keep me up all night
Winter hardens the garden ground
And I can't keep tending this orchard
All year round...

If I cry in the cab on the way home
Does that mean I'm yours?
Movie's taught me pain is love
And love's all that I'm good for
Is this love or just the parts you left sore?
Come back devil, don't you know
Love's all that I'm good for

I wanna live like I've never been hurt
I want a life I'm scared I don't deserve
If I only love when I'm scared to let go
That's not love that's the consequence
Of unstable homes

And I can't keep burning from both ends bright
Your damn florescents keep me up all night
Winter hardens the garden ground
And I can't keep tending this orchard
All year round...
