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
