Never be together
I'll never be together
like when I was young
and fallen leaves soaked up all the rain
and everything smelled like dampened earth,
I used to collect the dead leaves
and watch them rot and beg for rain
I used to hold us all together
like when we were young,
but that was just yesterday,
And if I could just hold my soul
I'd never leave again,
like when we were young
and fallen leaves soaked up all the rain
I don't exist like I did
a year ago,
when the summer heat melted my resolve
and our kisses ate our flesh away,
we used to collect the broken hearts
and listen to all their pain,
like watching the autumn leaves
rot and die and beg for rain
And if I could hold my heart
I'd never need again,
like when we were young
and the fallen leaves soaked up all the rain
What should I say now,
after the seasons have changed,
I know winter is crawling closer
and I'll never be the same
as I was a year ago,
But I remember everything,
like the smell of deep autumn
And what it was like to dream big things,
and I let it slip away,
I used to collect the dead leaves
and watch them rot and beg for rain,
when I was young
