about
There was an apricot tree in the backyard of the first house I grew up in.
There was also an apricot tree in the front yard of the second house. And a raspberry bush in the back.
I wanted to write a waltz.
So I did.
There was also an apricot tree in the front yard of the second house. And a raspberry bush in the back.
I wanted to write a waltz.

lyrics
Would you dance with me
Under the Apricot tree that grew in the backyard
Of my first home
Where I used to live
Would you help me say
Goodbye to the city that raised me
But I never liked it there
Seemed like nobody cared
Would you count the stars up above with me
Would you see where you could go with me
Would you count the stars
Up above
Would you compare your scars with me
Would you tell me stories of battles you've won
And those you have lost
Fights that you never fought
Would you dance out on the lake with me
Would you dance under the stars with me
Would you dance away
With the moon, tonight
Would you come steal a car with me
We could drive as far as our tired eyes could see
Navigate the sky
Come home for the sun
Under the Apricot tree that grew in the backyard
Of my first home
Where I used to live
Would you help me say
Goodbye to the city that raised me
But I never liked it there
Seemed like nobody cared
Would you count the stars up above with me
Would you see where you could go with me
Would you count the stars
Up above
Would you compare your scars with me
Would you tell me stories of battles you've won
And those you have lost
Fights that you never fought
Would you dance out on the lake with me
Would you dance under the stars with me
Would you dance away
With the moon, tonight
Would you come steal a car with me
We could drive as far as our tired eyes could see
Navigate the sky
Come home for the sun
