lyrics

soon the trees will grow new leaves as the summer comes around
but the leaves still left from autumn may linger in a lush green shroud
i know
with a stubbornness of stones
left to sort through the mess on our own
every now and then i wish to pry
we're so busy all of the time

when you ask if i feel like dancing
a solemn glance says no
light a fire with the kitchen matches
start shaking above the stove
is there no better way to fight this?
i hate to see you like this
when your melancholic flame burns brightest
oh surely none of this came out right

i wish we could be like waves
crash to the ground
but keep on flowing down
could we flow to the dirt?
and nourish the roots of our little house?

we could be atoms, air particles
we could be weightless
and with a summer's breeze
we could let go of our autumn leaves
