Our bed we live, our bed we sleep
Making love and I become you
Flesh is warm with naked feet
Stabbing thorns and you become me

Oh, I'd beg for you, you know I'll beg for you

Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
Take a bath I'll drink the water that you leave
If you should die before me ask if you could bring a friend
Pick a flower hold your breath and drift away

She holds my hand, we share a laugh
Sipping orange blossom breezes
Love is still and sweat remains
A cherished gift unselfish feeling

Oh, I'd beg for you, you know I'll beg for you

Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
Take a bath I'll drink the water that you leave
If you should die before me ask if you could bring a friend
Pick a flower hold your breath and drift away

She tells me things, I listen well
Drink the wine save the water
Skin is smooth I steal a glance
Dragon flies 'er' gliding over

Oh I'd beg for you, you know I'll beg for you

Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
Take a bath I'll drink the water that you leave
If you should die before me ask if you could bring a friend
Pick a flower hold your breath and drift away

    General Comment:Oh, and "if you should die before me, ask if you can bring a friend" is one of the most beautiful lyrics ever. It's not just about being in love, but about companionship. That you are willing to go to the ends of existence for the people we love, no matter where it takes us, so that we dont have to be apart from them.

    General Comment:About love and being so submerged in it that you wish for things beyond human comprehension. Great song, some of the best lyrics ever, even the bath lyric, which originally struck me as a bit of a clunker, fits the song in its intimacy so well that it works. Some very personal songs, like Pearl Jam's Around the Bend or Mad Seasons's Artificial Red, as good as they are, dont welcome and evelop you like this song does. They spill their heart out to you, but they dont invite you to spill your heart back. This song begs you to feel it and to understand it.
    I do think there is one drug reference to, but not to heroin, rather to pot... pick a flower, hold your breath, and drift away. :D

    Lyric Correction:I've listened to this song ever since it was released, and I've always heard:

    "Oh, I'm there for you
    Oh, you know I'm there for you"

    Listen to it very carefully.

    General Comment:It's about that feeling after sex when you realize that the person you are with isn't just another fuck, but someone you really want to spend the rest of your life with.

    General Comment:This song is about the love for his heroin addiction. I would love to believe it's about a girl but the entire album is inspired by heroin incluing his No4 written while he was in rehab. Just like Kirt Cobain and Anthony Kiedis. Great fucking music compliments of their heroin adiction

    General Comment:I cry when I hear this song. Plain and simple it reminds me of my wife, rest her body to the earth. 'I beg for you'. God do I ever. 'If you should die before I do, ask if you can bring a friend.' I hope she did just that.
