about
I don't really like writing about the music. I like writing about everything else, but not so much the music. I hope you enjoy the song :)
lyrics
I wish you could know
That give or take a day or two I’m pretty much doing really well
But October blue always includes the sweetest kind of hell
No more sledding down the hill on nothing but the crunchiest of Crimson leaves
No more sudden, clumsy hugs after interceptions by our favorite team
How I wish I could share this new thing that I learned
With someone who might have a clue
But so much worse for me to hold inside
Is no more falls with you
No more start to hockey season giving us a reason to unpack the skates
No more fateful conversations of matriculation and homecoming dates
Maybe it’s ok we can’t laugh about the days
We quoted Bill and Ted ‘til we were blue
But I don’t know if I’ll ever understand
No more falls with you
Bridge
Spring isn’t bad, maybe it’s the blooms that keep my spirits high
Summer I can do, the brightness of the sun reminds me I can fly
Winter is a bitch, but all the celebrations give me just enough
But fall
No more vegan dressing, oh my God you were so thoughtful on Thanksgiving Day
No more autumn birthdays when the greatest gift of all is just to see your face
How I wish you could know that I’m trying to let go
I’m sure that’s what you’d tell me to do
But one empty place I’ll never give away
No more falls with you
