I meant to share this sooner. I just didn't know how. For more jars I probably should've opened sooner.... 🖤 𝙎𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙮: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2VCdgYo4f5iSIcLouGV89j 🖤 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙏𝙪𝙗𝙚: https://www.youtube.com/@AlmaBlairDFP 🖤 𝙏𝙞𝙠𝙏𝙤𝙠: https://www.tiktok.com/@almadfp - 𝙖𝙡𝙢𝙖 🖤 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙧 - ⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺ Okay, this next song’s a little different for me. It’s about apple butter. And… well, maybe a lot of other things, too. I started writing it for a friend— Then I realized I kind of owe it to a lot of you. It’s not an apology. It’s not really an excuse either… Let’s just call it an explanation. If you think this song might be a little about you? You’re probably right. And… honestly, I’m sorry. Kind of. ================================ I was six, in grandma’s kitchen Apple butter, her magic made Sticky-sweet on lips and fingers Too young to know the word for crave If there was love in a mason jar I guess that's just the way she gave Didn’t know how much I loved apple butter All I know is I can't wait So I eat it straight from the jar No bread, no spoon, no dinner plate Don't know why it's called apple butter I just love the way it tastes Years later, I meet a stranger Apple butter, her magic made Hands me a jar, warm and heavy Cause she heard it's what I crave And every week wants back her jar But it's in the fridge, left un-ate She probably thought I lied `bout apple butter But I was just scared to let it go So I let it sit there, seal unbroken Afraid to waste what I wanted most Or, maybe I never loved apple butter Just the memory, just the show But it's not just 'bout apple butter It's precious things I've left unused It's TV shows I never finish It's songs and dreams I keep on snooze Always waiting for that moment Like I'll know it when it comes Saving magic till it's faded Losing out by holding on So I bought a jar of apple butter Didn't wait for the perfect mood Made a sandwich, licked the spoon Let the mess become the proof Now I know how much I love apple butter And all the good things I let go Cause I learned this `bout apple butter It might not be there tomorrow.
