Apple Lyrics by Charli XCX

Verse 1

I guess the apple don’t fall far from the tree

‘Cause I’ve been looking at you so long

Now I only see me

I wanna throw the apple into the sky

Feels like you never understand me

So I just wanna drive

To the airport, the airport

The airport, the airport

Verse 2

I guess the apple could turn yellow or green

I know there’s lots of different nuances

To you and to me

I wanna grow the apple, keep all the seeds

But I can’t help but get so angry

You don’t listen, I leave

To the airport, the airport

The airport, the airport

The airport, the airport

The airport, the airport

Interlude

(Yeah, yeah)

I’m gonna drive, gonna drive all night

I’m gonna drive, gonna drive all night

Verse 3

I think the apple’s rotten right to the core

From all the things passed down

From all the apples coming before

I split the apple down symmetrical lines

And what I find is kinda scary

Makes me just wanna drive

(Drive, drive, drive, dr-dr-dr-drive, drive, drive)

(I’m gonna drive, gonna drive all night)

(I’m gonna drive, gonna drive all night)

(Drive, drive, drive, dr-dr-dr-drive, drive)

Outro

I wanna know where you go

When you’re feeling alone

When you’re feeling alone, do you?

I wanna know where you go

When you’re feeling alone

When you’re feeling alone, do you?

(Do you, do you, do you, do you)

(Do you, do you, do you, do you)

(Do you, do you, do you, do you)

(Do you, do you, do you, do you)

(Do you, do you, do you, do you)

(Do you, do you, do you, do you)

(Do you, do you, do you, do you)

(Do you, do you, do you, do you)

(Do you, do you)
