Lemon Trees Songtext
von The Young Romans

You can′t decide
If you're going to fly or hold on
To your bittersweet lemon trees
Bittersweet lemon trees
You′re dignified
And you don't belong in my present home
With your understated royalty
Understated royalty
I don't say these things with ease
I don′t want to lose you
Don′t want to let you go
But I never thought that I'd be the one to say so
No, no
It′s better to fall down
Better to fail nearly every time
Than to know I had you here
And that you never tried
Bittersweet lemon tree
You settled down before you ever found a way out


It's a cardinal catastrophe, cardinal catastrophe
And here we are, running out of water in the middle of a drought
Is this the way it′s supposed to be, this the way it's supposed to be?
I don′t say these things with ease
I don't want to lose you
Don't want to let you go
But I never thought that I′d be the one to stay so, no, no
It′s better to fall down, better to fail nearly every time,
Than to know I had you here, and that you never tried.
Bittersweet lemon tree.
I don't want to lose you,
Don′t want to let you go.
But I never thought that I'd be the one to stay so...
I don′t want to lose you,
Don't want to let you go.
But I never thought that I′d be the one to stay so, no, no.
It's better to fall down, better to fail nearly every time,
Than to know I had you here, and that you never tried.
Bittersweet lemon tree.
