| To leave it alone would feel much better |
| It’s easier said than done, but still I try |
| Maybe I should just forget her |
| She was the ripest of all, the pride of the tree |
| Abandoned her home — had to go and see the world, oh |
| Pictures with time, they get sacred |
| Our picture’s the only thing that’s stayed the same |
| But I made up my mind that I’d get through it |
| She was the ripest of all, the pride of the tree |
| Abandoned her home and she split two families |
| She got it all if she’d only come and grab it |
| She dropped the ball, like she don’t even care |
| She never calls and I don’t think she’s going to |
| It’s been too long — is it too long to repair, |
| There’s no one to blame, but ain’t it all just such a shame |
| Where are you now that we’re much older? |
| How do you feel with all you left behind? |
| Do you ever stop and think about it? |
| D’ya think about the ripest of all, that was blown by the wind |
| Grew up from a seed that you planted long ago |
| You got it all if you’d only come and grab it |
| You dropped the ball, like you don’t even care |
| You never call and I don’t think you going to |
| It’s been too long — is it too long to repair, |
| Oh, you got it all if you’d only come and grab it |
| You dropped the ball, like you don’t even care |
| You never call and I don’t think that I want you to |
| It’s been too long — is it too long to repair yeah yeah |
