Ben Lee Ripe Lyrics

The moon sheds light across the end of the bed
You made me wait but now I'm touching your leg
And I remember all the little things you said
"Quesadillas made with cheese" and "a rock band who were j__anese"

So for once in my life I saw what I wanted and took a bite
I picked the fruit from the tree and it was ripe

Your love got big, your jokes got worse each afternoon
Like bacon at a barmitzvah, like a lead balloon
And who's to say what really happened in that room each day
I was looking for a bride, you were looking for a groom

So for once in your life you saw what you wanted and you took a bite
You picked the fruit from the tree and it was ripe

And all you people are the heroes I've known
We're staring off the edge into the unknown
We are not there yet but we cannot go home
So we cry and we sing yeah I remember everything

And for once in our lives we saw what we wanted and took a bite
We picked the fruit from the tree and it was ripe
