All the leaves will change in seasons unannounced
The yellow fall arrives
The autumn cold comes over
Freezing everything in permafrost
I try to fight it off
It doesn't work
It hurts to become
And at the heart of it, I'm still crying on my bed
Cause' you're the only one who can kiss away my shit
So I finally give in, we sleep in your parent's basement
One day I'll burn and salt the earth
All along the palisades, there once were hills of greenery
I drove through them to get you off my mind
Now the mountain pass has burned out
It won't be coming back
And here I ask
'Do you have a lot of what you've got?
Do you need more of it to survive?
Does it come up, more than enough
But not so much to serve as a reminder?'
And at the heart of it, I'm still crying on my bed
Cause' you're the only one who can kiss away my shit
So I finally give in, we sleep in your parent's basement
One day I'll burn and salt the earth
Behind you
I'm just a guide to
Be compared with, measure up
And then discarded when you're done
And at the heart of it, I'm still crying on my bed
Cause' you're the only one who can kiss away my shit
So I finally give in, we sleep in your parent's basement
One day I'll watch it burn, but for now I'm insecure
So I call you one more time, we meet under city lights
You tell me I look beautiful and I
Don't know where to run, everything's undone
So, when the time comes
I will salt the earth
Behind you
All the leaves will change in seasons unannounced
The yellow fall arrives
The autumn cold comes over us
