October Leaves

Wind blowing past the old Roller-Rink
Under traffic lights that no longer blink
Lost myself there on the last Hallow's Eve
Across the bridge is where you knew I would be
Na, na na na na, na na, na na
I lost September when the seasons move on
Na, na na na na, na na, na na
But I remember what you said I forgot

You're catching me out under knocked over trees
And next thing you know you lay down next to me
You're watching the maple of October Leaves
Fall in November when October leaves

Nothing kills you faster than your own fear
Except realizing that you don't want me here
You're against me and my new found ideals
Because I'm finally speaking out how I feel
I ripped my jeans when I tripped on the lawn
Death of denim, T.O.D. "Early Dawn"
Thriving solo, but you insist I'm wrong
If the world was ending, who's side you on?

(While) You're catching me out under knocked over trees
And next thing you know you lay down next to me
You're watching the maple of October Leaves
Fall in November when October leaves

(But) You don't understand the pain of being left on Autumn days
I wish for just a little change, yet I'm left with more of the same
I should have told her to just move over
And let me hold her, cry on my shoulder
But nights get colder as I get older
I can't do over the end of October

You're catching me out under knocked over trees
And next thing you know you lay down next to me
You're watching the maple of October Leaves
Fall in November when October leaves

(You're) Catching me out under knocked over trees
And next thing you know you lay down next to me
You're watching the maple of October Leaves
Fall in November when October leaves

Time moves on whether you're ready or not
I lost September when the seasons moved on
You tried to make me think it was all my fault
But I remember what you said I forgot
