Autumn Song Lyrics

Are you weathered like me?

You feel rough like a tree that fades the pure and green

But I've eroded, you see

For I am like the leaves

That browned when you were done with me

Although I'm dead and dried

I will come back in the spring

I need a little time

To heal for a while

I've met with winter and I've bathed in her blues

Your arms have grown bare

And I've fallen from you

Are you shattered like me?

Cause my heart only creaks

When it has something to say

And are you listening to me?

Cause I've uttered on repeat

That blunt, honest speech I freely gave

But although the tightrope's tired

It sustains you and me

A telephone line

Used infrequently

Although I've bit through my tongue vowing to be shrewd

I swiftly find your trunk again

And stumble back to you

You'll take me to the darkest place you hide

And I'll bury all the anger for a while

Cover me

With those pretty words

And leave me dead

Left to kiss the ground again

Although I've run dry,

I will harness the tears

And water your roots

Through the coming years

Afraid that I've been dissolving the phantom of youth

I've found myself clutching to

The fallacy of you
