Songs for Autumn EP

by Josh Belville

1.
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 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?

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!
