Fall

I saw you again
For the first time in ages
You looked just the same
But you sounded so different
Your manner of speaking
And the tone of your voice
Were so changed

If I were a bird I'd have fluttered away
But as I don't have wings
I was required to stay
In my place at the register
Ringing you up
In the most awkward way
In that stupid café

I saw you again
For the first time in ages
You looked just the same
But you sounded so different
Your manner of speaking
And the tone of your voice
Were so changed

And I'd never seen that shirt before
And I'd never seen that scarf before
And I shouldn't want to see you more often
But I do
And I'd never seen that hat before
And I'd never seen that bag before
And I shouldn't want to see you more often
But I do, I do, I do, I do

It's been a whole year
It's been twelve whole months
The innumerable minutes, I counted each one
In a manner of speaking
I still really love you
And I can't get you, can't get you
Out of my head

I've spent all this time
In extensive reflection
And in my recollection
The things that I said
Were gratuitous in
Their emotional content
And I'm sorry If saying them scared you away

I shouldn't have acted the way that I acted
I shouldn't have called you
I should have retracted
The things that I said
At the moment I said them
Or better yet I should've never been born
I should have retracted
The things that I said
At the moment I said them
I shouldn't have called you
I shouldn't have acted the way that I acted
I need to be punished
I need to be punished
I need to be punished
I need to be punished

Every thought inside my head is suddenly exploding
Every object in my room is suddenly too dull
Everything I feel inside my heart is fully inappropriate
Every object in my room is suddenly too dull

There's only a window there
Only a window there
Only a window, only a window
(You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it)
There's only a window, only a window
Only a window, only a window there

There's only a window there
Only a window there
Only a window, only a window
(You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it)
There's only a window, only a window
Only a window, only a window there

Do do do do do do do do do
Do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do
Do do
Do do do do do do do do

There's only a window there
Only a window there
Only a window, only a window
(You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it)
There's only a window, only a window
Only a window, only a window there
There's only a window there
Only a window there
Only a window, only a window
(You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it)
There's only a window, only a window
Only a window, only a window there
There's only a window there
Only a window there
Only a window, only a window
(You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it)
There's only a window, only a window
Only a window, only a window there

I close my eyes
And in my memories
I'm drowning in your coat
I'm gathering the leaves that fall
In my memories
I'm drowning in your coat
I'm just jumping in the leaves that fall
