Autumn

Hold on, don’t let it measure you
Sit tight, dead leaves on a summer night
Fourteen, you never were having it
Wild one, the snow brought you underneath

Put it on a crown of light
Earthquakes shatter that place up
Say goodnight, you ask for more
Quicker than the curtain call
(Ooo ooo ooo ooo)

Hold on, don’t let it measure you
Sit tight, dead leaves on soft summer nights
Fourteen, you never were having it
Wild one, the snow brought you underneath

I found my legs were stuck in that higher place
Caught in the memory
I’ll be wasting away
Sue couldn’t stop it
The distant shore, the smell of that other place
Put the fear deep inside my heart
Of the friend we once knew

I gaze on I gaze on, in to that chaos in the sky
Bright stars are crushing me down
I just want to be young like them

Season in a season, loss after loss after loss
I feel all grown up now
Won’t you take me to that land

Lay there in the broken light
Earthquakes shattered your place up
Say goodnight and ask for war
Oh you’ll hear it coming
(Ooo ooo ooo ooo)
