[Verse 1]
They say the grass is always greener on the other side.
But then again, maybe that doesn’t really matter.
There’s no point in trying to copy others.
We decided to focus on what we can do right now.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
At the home improvement store this evening,
We saw almond saplings for sale.
[Chorus 1]
Plugging one almond tree into the CE line,
Waiting for the blossoms and the nuts to shine.
Digging up the wet soil from CW two to three,
Planting a happy hill down where the space is free.
Protecting sweet potatoes with a careful hand,
Rocking the perfect bone across this golden land!
[Verse 2]
We tend to be shortsighted, but thinking long-term,
We made that 1,180-yen investment in the future.
Almond trees are self-incompatible,
Meaning they need another variety for pollination.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Rather than trying to get another variety,
We’ll plant an early-ripening peach sapling instead.
[Chorus 2]
Plugging one almond tree into the CE line,
Waiting for the blossoms and the nuts to shine.
Digging up the wet soil from CW two to three,
Planting a happy hill down where the space is free.
Protecting sweet potatoes with a careful hand,
Rocking the perfect bone across this golden land!
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
Mulling this over in my mind,
I planted the sapling at the edge of the field.
It’s a spot with good sunlight and drainage.
We hope it grows big and strong.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
We filled a watering can with tap water and gave the dry soil around it a good soaking.
[Chorus 3]
Plugging one almond tree into the CE line,
Waiting for the blossoms and the nuts to shine.
Digging up the wet soil from CW two to three,
Planting a happy hill down where the space is free.
Protecting sweet potatoes with a careful hand,
Rocking the perfect bone across this golden land!
[Bridge]
“I always thought almonds were just nuts.
They’re actually like peach pits, aren’t they?” She asked.
“Yeah, you can’t eat the fruit itself,” I replied.
[Final Chorus]
Plugging one almond tree into the CE line,
Waiting for the blossoms and the nuts to shine.
Digging up the wet soil from CW two to three,
Planting a happy hill down where the space is free.
Protecting sweet potatoes with a careful hand,
Rocking the perfect bone across this golden land!
[Outro]
