Green becomes a sea of leaves
Leaving denim skirts and plain black tees
Rebuilding bridges, repairing the nevers
We can't surrender ourselves to sun forever
Now we're counting days like we used to count steps
Dreading the beginning as much as the end
Staring at pavements and counting to ten
Summer slips away, September comes again
For what I said I'd give I got
I'm lost in thoughts of getting lost
Taking time to take time off
For me this is just enough
Through bike rides and longest days
We blink our eyes and hours just slip away
Train tracks take us back to where we loved
We're classic cars through streets built to rust
Her frustrations grow to grate on me
The separation seems to be too much lately
Through days in doors and a mattress on the floor
Cemetery walks, but only if you're sure
For what I said I'd give I got
I'm lost in thoughts of getting lost
Taking time to take time off
For me this is just enough
They keep waiting for you to come back home
(You'll never understand, you won't even listen)
