Miss the leaves from trees I haven't seen in fifteen years Marry themselves to that September scent I used to know so well I run a thumb against the grain, my left cheek I haven't shaved in three or four days at this point Ma**achusetts feels so strange right now And I stand recalling when the carnival brought mystery and flames To all three stoplights wide eyed children hold tight some others hands And now as darkness ends I wish that I'd dress warmer but I guess there's just some lessons I can't learn So now I'm cold again, alright Close my eyes, and watch the colors change And It's not that I don't want to wait it's just that I can't bear to change Where-ever I go I'm wandering lost Simple truths and circumstance, things that aren't about romance Where-ever I go this still feels like home to me now
Then summer came and went we all were battered by the sense that we could not keep holding on I woke up and it was fall, and I had traveled to the ocean I'd been baptized by the fire, that kept on been burning in New England And would never let me sleep at night Close my eyes, and watch the colors change And it's not that I don't want to wait it's just that I can't bear to change Wherever I go I'm wandering lost Simple truths and circumstance, things that aren't about romance Where-ever I go this still feels like home to me now And I said I'd run 'til I'm standing in a cold driving rain That don't need no one else 'cause I can hurt myself I'm waiting on salvation that I haven't earned I am fine, I am fine, this could be so much worse
