Also the person he has the "familiar choice" is also the one he states "regret the choice that i made; that you're not a fire so i will not dance in you." That person is can not give them the feeling or fulfillment that he realizes exist, that person is unsatisfying. |

| The part about "tackle with a familiar response" could be something like lust for another that comes easy and when he is presented with that road, his response is the same, and therefore he relinquishes any chance to dance in the fire with that person who is full of life. Now he is left "to burn inside" (anger, remorse). | |

| The other part of the lyrics that may have caused some slight confusion is the statement "I planted rows of peas, but by the first week of july -- they should have come up to my knees but they were maybe ankle high." Specifically the statement about the peas being "maybe ankle high." I believe this lyric to be correct as well. I noticed that one person posted that it maybe "baby high," the harsh "ba" sound is not existent, but there is how ever an intonation that signifies an unsureness, which would testify that only the word "maybe" as one of the few words that would fit the statement and intonation. It is a word of questioning, or guessing, and is therefore appropriate for the manner in which the artist stated it. | |

I know this is a long time since the song came out, but I felt I must comment anyway. On the argument over the "mustard greens," well it is just that. There is a definite "g" sound at the beginning of the word and finished with an "s," but more importantly, it is needed to look at the context in which the statement was sang. He is trying to contrast the sweetness of wine with that of un-ripened mustard seeds. This is further supported by the following line of "Light and dark as honeydew and pumpernickle bread," which contrast the white exterior of the melon and the deep brown of the bread, at least that is what I think he is going after. |
