I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Listen baby
Let's talk
I can't take this pressure
I need to love you
But I need to breathe too
Honey don't mouth off at me now
But I've got to tell you a thing or two
Honey hear me out and sit down
Cos for some time it's been on my mind
Never had a love so strong
Never had a love so right
A love this tight
Never had a love so fine
Baby it's so divine
But you want too much time
You can't go on
Eating away at my apple heart
You can't go on
Worming your way through my apple heart
I just need a little more time
And you won't lose me
I'll love you more for it
There's nothing more exciting
Than being in your arms
But baby listen to me
Sometimes you've got to let go
Never had a love so strong
Never had a love so right
A love this tight
Never had a love so fine
Baby it's so divine
But you want too much time
You can't go on
Eating away at my apple heart
You can't go on
Worming your way through my apple heart
You can't go on
Eating away at my apple heart
You can't go on
Worming your way through my apple heart
A little more space
And a little more time
And we'll be alright
Never had a love so strong
Never had a love so right
A love this tight
Never had a love so fine
Baby it's so divine
But you want too much time
You can't go on
Eating away at my apple heart
You can't go on
Worming your way through my apple heart
You can't go on
Eating away at my apple heart
You can't go on
Worming your way through my apple heart
You can't go on
Eating away at my apple heart
You can't go on
Worming your way through my apple heart
You can't go on
Eating away at my apple heart
You can't go on
Worming your way through my apple heart
We need to talk
You need to give me more time
Let's talk
I can't take this pressure
I need to love you
But I need to breathe too
Honey don't mouth off at me now
But I've got to tell you a thing or two
Honey hear me out and sit down
Cos for some time it's been on my mind
Never had a love so strong
Never had a love so right
A love this tight
Never had a love so fine
Baby it's so divine
But you want too much time
You can't go on
Eating away at my apple heart
You can't go on
Worming your way through my apple heart
I just need a little more time
And you won't lose me
I'll love you more for it
There's nothing more exciting
Than being in your arms
But baby listen to me
Sometimes you've got to let go
Never had a love so strong
Never had a love so right
A love this tight
Never had a love so fine
Baby it's so divine
But you want too much time
You can't go on
Eating away at my apple heart
You can't go on
Worming your way through my apple heart
You can't go on
Eating away at my apple heart
You can't go on
Worming your way through my apple heart
A little more space
And a little more time
And we'll be alright
Never had a love so strong
Never had a love so right
A love this tight
Never had a love so fine
Baby it's so divine
But you want too much time
You can't go on
Eating away at my apple heart
You can't go on
Worming your way through my apple heart
You can't go on
Eating away at my apple heart
You can't go on
Worming your way through my apple heart
You can't go on
Eating away at my apple heart
You can't go on
Worming your way through my apple heart
You can't go on
Eating away at my apple heart
You can't go on
Worming your way through my apple heart
We need to talk
You need to give me more time
