open me now, or I stay closed forever
open me now, before I never speak again
saying goodbye to the chance of being better
telling all my friends that I'm fine, it's just the weather
there is an apple on the tree inside my mind
bite it for me, tell me please, what am I trying to hide
is it a photograph of when the world was new?
is it a little piece I'm missing of the space 'tween one and two?

be like the summer breeze that I so sorely need
be like an aspen tree that bends and never breaks
be like the birds on high that fly out on the sea
be like the air in the space between you and me

and I will be your apple
be your apple
I will be your apple
be your apple
bite me when you can
tell me what you see
is it what you want?
tell me what I need
to be your apple
be your apple
I will be

lead me on now, or I stay still forever
lead me on now before I never move again
trick me into going somewhere I can get better
tell me I'll be fine in the end, it's just the weather
there is a stranger on the corner of the street
look at him and look at me and tell me what you see
is it how we are different or do we look the same?
is it 'cause he is unafraid to show the teardrops on his face?

be like the summer breeze that I so sorely need
be like an aspen tree that bends and never breaks
be like the birds on high that fly out on the sea
be like the air in the space between you and me

and I will be your apple
be your apple
I will be your apple
be your apple
bite me when you can
tell me what you see
is it what you want?
tell me what I need
to be your apple
be your apple
I will be your apple

and I will be your apple
be your apple
I will be your apple
be your apple
bite me when you can
tell me what you see
is it what you want?
tell me what I need
to be your apple
be your apple
I will be
be your apple
be your apple
