lyrics

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
