[Verse 1]
When I heard the knock on the door
I couldn't catch my breath
Is it too late to call this off?

[Chorus]
We could slip away
Oh, wouldn't that be better?
Me with nothing to say
And you in your autumn sweater

And you

[Verse 2]
I tried my best to hide in a crowded room
It's nearly impossible
I wait for you almost patiently

[Chorus]
We can slip away
Oh, wouldn't that be better?
Me with nothing to say
And you in your autumn sweater

[Bridge]
And so I looked for your eyes
And the waves look like they'd pour right out of them
I'll try hard
I'll try always
But it's a waste of time
It's a waste of time if I can't smile easily
Like in the beginning
Like in the beginning
[Chorus]
We can slip away
Oh, wouldn't that be better?
Me with nothing to say
And you in your autumn sweater
We could slip away
Oh, wouldn't that be better?
Me with nothing to say
And you in your autumn sweater

[Outro]
And you in your autumn sweater
And you in your autumn sweater
And you in your autumn sweater
