the moon sheds light across the end of the bed.
you made me wait but now i'm touching your leg.
and i remember all the little things you said,"quesadillas, made with cheese" and "a rock band who went japanese."
so for once in my life, i saw what i wanted and took a bite.
i picked the fruit from the tree and it was ripe.
your love got big, your jokes got worse each afternoon.
like bacon at a bah mitzvah, like a lead balloon.
and who's to say what really happened in that room each day?
i was looking for a bride, you were looking for a groom.
so for once in your life, you saw what you wanted and you took a bite.
you picked the fruit from the tree and it was ripe.
and all you people are the heroes i'd known.
we're staring off the edge into the unknown.
we are not there yet but we cannot go home.
so we cry, and we sing.
yeah, i remember everything.
for once in our lives, we saw what we wanted and took a bite.
we picked the fruit from the tree.
and it was ripe.

"you made me wait but now i'm touching your leg".."i remember all the little things you said".."so for onece in my life..i picked the fruit from the tree and it was ripe"
that sounds to me like a man and woman have waited for a long time to final be together sexually. the "i remember all the little things you said" line makes me think that they've known eachother for a long time. "it was ripe" gives me an image that both the man and the woman are virgins, but not anymore! but the line that says your drugs got worse each afternoon? what is that?
I'm pretty sure it's "your jokes got worse each afternoon."
To me, this song is about two people who have known each other for a long time, and probably wanted each other just as long. They finally went for it, and the timing was right.
"Like bacon at a bar mitzvah" I love that line.
It's "a rock band who WERE Japanese."
Also, is there such a thing as a quesadilla without cheese? Answer: no.
