lyrics

he wrote notes to catherine
as they wait for school to begin
her lips pressed as she read in her bed and it said
“won’t you meet me here again?”

catherine spent all her time
picking oranges and limes
waiting for him to walk through the door
sick and sore
confessing all of his crimes

oh, florida
I can’t take it anymore
the waves they break before they hit the shore
and every piece of fruit that hangs
will soon fall to the floor
oh, florida
I can’t take it anymore

he spoke lies soft and sweet
and he hoped one day he’d believe
that underneath florida trees
tall and green
she’d be seen
as someone not to leave

catherine waits by the door
as he drives east towards the shore
the exits pass
he could not make it last
turing fast
for the truth he can’t ignore

oh, florida
I can’t take it anymore
the waves they break before they hit the shore
and every piece of fruit that hangs
will soon fall to the floor
oh, florida
I can’t take it anymore
