the thimble and acorn bit makes me think of peter pan, like the novel. peter and wendy exchanged a thimble and and acorn, if i remember correctly, and called them "kisses" because peter had no idea what a kiss was and wendy was shy.
apothecaries will always make me think of the apothecary from romeo and juliet, but i wonder if that doesn't work for this song -- it follows with "to an understudy in forlorn love," and understudy implies a play (which romeo and juliet is) and forlorn love is pretty much the entire premise of the play.
i like all of the literary allusions in this song! wish it had been more than a demo, honestly. it's bouncy and encompasses some amazing lyrics.
