Even Autumn

Even at the peak of Autumn
We couldn't fall
All of those sweaters you could've offered
Guess it's a long shot

Even at the peak of Autumn
You couldn't call
Took a walk by myself
Leaves stuck to the ground
And that didn't help

Slow motion sky
Just goes from gray to white
Maybe I'll stay awhile
But everything changes, child

Even as the world got quiet
We couldn't speak
Over all of the noise
Just keep breaking branches under our feet

Even as a hopeful artist
I couldn't make words stick to a page
I tried everything
The pen ran out of ink

Slow motion sky
Just goes from gray to white
Maybe I'll stay awhile
But everything changes, child

One day I'll go out in the cold
And not think of you drenched in two o'clock sun
One day I know
October will end
And I won't be undone when it does

Even at the peak of Autumn
I couldn't change
Along with the trees
I'm more like a leaf you step carelessly on
