Song for Autumn

from Songs for Autumn EP by Josh Belville

lyrics

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
