Song for Autumn

some old lady at the local grocery
told me some cliche about the falling leaves
and i turned my head and i looked for my friend
and i never saw that old lady again
i was born in the midst of spring
but i felt the first drops of rain in the fall
and i wanted more to life even as a baby
no more settling for second best
la la la, la la, i wanted to kiss you
la la, la la and no more missing you
la la, la la these days aren't so bright any more
so what am i asking for?
the same slender hands
your hair falling all around my face
it's not going as planned
and now we're both in another place
the broad midwest blankets my intentions
two coasts divided by a sea of mimickry
and i wasn't bold enough, and i wasn't able
to tell you exactly what i should've said
the weather's getting colder, the rain turns into sleet
the sky is gray and calling out your name
and i'm on the front porch with a message in a bottle
i'll throw it as hard as i can
la la la, la la, i wanted to kiss you
la la, la la and no more missing you
la la, la la these days aren't so bright any more
so what am i asking for?
the same slender hands
your hair falling all around my face
it's not going as planned
and now we're both in another place

Susan (is it True?)
03:17

susan i've got a letter
that's never been delivered
to your door
and i've got all these stamps
with comic book characters
strewn across the floor
who do i pick? which one represents
the love i have for you?
is it spiderman, is it wonder woman
is it true?
susan, the price of stamps
went up, so i am in a bind
i've gotta go to the postal store
to buy one cent stamps and not fall behind
so i thought, i'd buy a sidekick stamp
a richard for my bruce
or maybe jason todd, or tim drake--
is it true?
is it true? is it true?
have i never sent a letter to you?
susan, i've got a letter
that's sitting in the top drawer
of my desk
and in it reads some laborious prose
about how you are the best
unread, it lies patiently
beside my three hole punch
i've got a hunch it might never
reach you
is it silly? is it strange?
is it true?

We Can Do Anything
06:43

golden leaves all around your face
in the meadow i have found my place
tumbling through the autumn cold with you
harvest moon and a starry sky
thinking through every alibi
tumbling through the autumn cold with you
and we are everything if we're lovely
we are anything except lonely
we are nothing but our skin and stars
shining right above me
we can do anything in the autumn
we can do anything in the autumn
fire started and the flames are low
orange flicker keeps your eyes aglow
tumbling through the autumn cold with you
ghost stories and a chilly night
people searching through the pale moonlight
tumbling through the autumn cold with you
and we are everything if we're lovely
we are anything except lonely
we are nothing but our skin and stars
shining right above me
we can do anything in the autumn
we can do anything in the autumn
no matter if the tables turn
no matter if we both are burned
no matter how long it takes
for them to learn
no matter if it's sun or snowing
no matter cause our hearts are glowing
no matter if our cards are showing
we're not concerned

Noelle
02:15
|

noelle, i brought your wedding gown
down from the attic storage
i sewed the straps back on
but all the memories are gone
noelle, noelle, it must be hell
to see a dress six sizes smaller
noelle, noelle, it must compel
you to go back to the gym
fight or falter!
noelle, this white is now a beige
the lace has been flattened down
i tried to fix it up
but it just fell apart
noelle, noelle, it must be hell
to see your past fall into pieces
noelle, noelle, like mortar shells
in your heart
fight or falter!
