Is It Fall Again?
"it's fall again"
Woke up this morning, it was fall
I hit my head against the wall
Wish it were spring
With it were anything at all
Except for fall
I heard your song
It made me wonder what went wrong with me
I never learned to talk myself
To any size at all
But you are tall, you are tall
Have you always been this tall?
Did you grow up feeling like you were
Invisible and small?
And i wish i knew you then
So i could take you from it all
But it doesn't seem to work like that
At least not in the fall
Is it the leaves got me feeling so alone?
Oh, why does everything have to die before it grows?
And i don't know, i don't know
But i wish that i knew then
Is it fall again?
I can read your blog, i can't read your thoughts
Are you upset, do you wanna talk?
Swearin' you got everything that you want
Overflowing with the stock
Me, i am what i am
Spend my time as i always have
Splittin' people into good and bad
Tellin' myself that i'm not sad
Like "you're a kid, you're a kid
You don't know just what you did
How these little things
We keep inside ourselves
Can get so big"
And i wish i knew you then
We'd get on like a house in flames
Between the broken way my mouth works
And the things you couldn't say
And i'm glad you made it out
So you could make it here today
But some days i wonder
What i ever made
Maybe it's just the leaves got me feeling so alone
Oh, why does everything have to die before it grows?
I don't know, i don't know
But i wish that i knew then
Is it fall again?
