The air cooled down
The clocks rewound
And the trees painted highway signs
We headed out
Of that East Coast town
Straight into an crimson sky
Just a weekend getaway
That I still ain't escaped from
What I thought was fun and games
Came along and pulled a fast one
Only took a few miles to realize
There was more in the air on that drive than
Leaves falling
To the beat of an autumn breeze
And cheap coffee
To keep us both from falling asleep
"Red" on my speakers
Blue in your eyes
White lies in my head
Trying hard to deny
All along it was me
It wasn't just the leaves
Falling
I spilt your drink
My cheeks turned pink
But you didn't seem to mind
3 state lines in
By 2 AM
We'd lost all of track of time
I remember every minute
Of that 12 hour drive
But the whole thing passed
In the blink of an eye... with
Leaves falling
To the beat of an autumn breeze
And cheap coffee
To keep us both from falling asleep
"Red" on my speakers
Blue in your eyes
White lies in my head
Trying hard to deny
All along it was me
It wasn't just the leaves
Falling
Falling... ooh
Thank god we missed our flight
Jumped in a car that night
Now I trace the rest of my life... to
Leaves falling
To the beat of an autumn breeze
And cheap, cheap coffee
To keep us both from falling asleep
"Red" on my speakers
Blue in your eyes
White lies in my head
Trying hard to deny
All along it was me
It wasn't just the leaves
Falling
Falling... ooh
Leaves... Falling
