Leaves Lyrics

I bet there's a war up in the trees

Between the green and the yellow leaves

With bloodshed that we've never seen

Green leaves decide they want a treaty

Yellow leaves groan, know they're undefeated

Leave it to the tide and the autumn breeze

You never realise at the time

The more you hold onto head

The more you lie

And it might be true that we're made just to die

But everyday that I see you

Made me stay, for a while

Remember a race, with a cart and stead

Ticking on a timer, what a fearful beast

Always finds humour to be out of reach

Crashing down the road at a break neck speed

Snorting in the horses as they dodge and weave

Ben-Hur had the course and we had the feast

You never realise at the time

The more you hold onto head

The more you lie

And it might be true that we're made just to die

But everyday that I see you

Made me stay, for a while
