I peeled my orange today

I peeled my orange today

and I hope you're proud of me for it

- because I used to not know how -

so I got juice everywhere

you used to do it for me

- because I used to not know how -

and you were happy to help out

you ask me if I ever learned

- because I used to not know how -

but I'll figure it out someday

i want to share this with you

- because I used to not know how -

and I know it's better this way

I read this as a metaphor for learning how to love.
And when we don't know how...we spill it everywhere but where it is supposed to go.
