Lyrics

Apples and Oranges
-Kurt Gundersen © 2019

You’re speaking in oranges, I can’t squeeze out the juice
You spend your days locked up, I’m always on the loose
I’m trying to break free but you’re happy in a noose
I’m only seeking clarity and you’re being so obtuse

Rungs on your ladder are made of rubber bands
I’m on the mountainside surveying the land
You’re trying to reach the top with every sleight of hand
We’re on so many different levels, can’t find a leg on which to stand

Chorus:
Oranges and Apples
Life’s fruit you can’t compare
With truth we all must grapple
When life seems so unfair

You see every detail not a hair is out of place
For me it’s the big picture I’m always trying to chase
You think all the answers can be found in the mirror’s face
Your reflection is an illusion and I see the lines you could never trace

Chorus
Oranges and Apples
Life’s fruit you can’t compare
With truth we all must grapple
When life seems so unfair

You’re speaking in apples but I can’t taste the pie
My passion is my poison, your crust is thick and dry
The gates are so wide open but you’re afraid to come outside
The snake is in the dungeon and I’m in the garden reaching for the sky
