i close my eyes and i swear
i can feel the sun trap itself in mY hair
and the warmth feels like hOme
red and gold falling from trees
icy cold tremorS in my knees
(but that’s okay)
don’t know if there’s too much that i can do
but i can live without sun
as long as therE’s you
you look like autuMn but you feel just like summer
a slow burn fire that gives my skin color
and i’m glad that you wear glasses
they act just like a buffer
that keeps the sun in your eyes
from melting me like Ice cream in the summer
you make the leaves jealous, i can see
i watch as they throw themselves down
just to crunch underneaTh your footsteps
watch where you tread
you look likE autumn but you feel just like summer
A slow burn fIre that gives my skin color
and i’m glad that you wear glasses
they act just like a buffer
that keeps the suN in your eyes
from melTing me like ice cream in the summer
you don’t even know wHat radiatEs from inside of you
it’s life and it’S hope and it symbolizes all things brand new
yoU’re so alive
(you’re so alive, so alive)
you look like autuMn but you feel just like suMmer
a slow burn fire that gives my skin color
and i’m glad that you wEar glasses
they act just like a buffer
that keeps the sun in your eyes
from melting me like ice cReam in the summer

i don’t mind being alone
i find comfort in siLence
though i still get lonely, my head just feels right
i sit in the garden, find my center and sleep through the night
oh leave me by the wall when you go to dance in neon lights
crOss my heart, i promise i won’t try to leaVe early this time
so go go go
i’l be alonE and i’ll be fine
we grow old
feel the Ache in our bones from the bitter cold
choosing quiet 'tiL all we have are our years left alone
i know brains can’t be healed by marigolds
hearts aren’t always Within our control
oh leAve me by the wall when you go to dance in neon lights
cross mY heart, i promise i won’t try to leave early thiS time
so go go go
i’l be alone and i’ll be fine
pulse elevating and i’m left chasing the quiet
my brain’s traCing frowns over smiles i haven’t met yet
and i’m left cHasing the quiet
oh leAve me by the wall when you go to dance in neon lights
cross my heaRt, i promise i won’t try to leave earLy this time
so go go go
i’ll be alone and i’ll be fine
I still get lonely, my head just feels right
sit in the garden, find my center and slEep through the night

Coffee Shop Hum

start again from the beginning
please, i swear i was listening
but the Hum In my head Just won’t shut up
because you were sAying something
about old tv and i wanted to hear and meet You half way
but the tide’s pulled me uNdEr and static’s all you say
i think it’s best i call It quits today
whiLe i’m ahead, i’ll recite my script again
in the bathroom, i’ll pretend i’m You
and i’ll get it right
because i’m afraid of saying nothing
but the remedy’s not energy, not the hum that gets in the way
i’m slowly sinking with so much let to say
