I suppose it's about meeting the girl next door and then messing with her 'purity' when she's around the wrong crowd, which in this case was me.

Story behind the song
I was writing about a girl I know that wanted a "happy" song, as she thinks my songs are all sad love songs. So I started out well intentioned of creating a happy love song about this girl, but it all ended up being another sad song to add to the massive pile.
Lyrics
Goodbye Apple Pie
At a bar on the corner
dragging a cigarette
I tell you everything
knowing that soon you'll forget
As you tip back another
my, you're getting so sly
Just keep on drinking and
I'll tell you why
I'm loving that seductive look in your eye
I'm thinking how you remind me of apple pie
You're so good and sweet
Go ahead and feed me some lies
I'll devour them all
and forgive you after tonight
I'm loving that seductive look in your eye
I'm thinking how you remind me of apple pie
It's such a sweet high...
until you whisper goodbye
I wave to you goodbye
But I never get you to reply
Goodbye
Goodbye
