Fallen Leaves

I know you think of me

Sadistically it makes me happy

We have that at least

Even though it's hopeless

It was reckless of me to believe we have forever

'Cause no one has forever

But every time the thought of you came up

I thought of something else

Then I grew up, I grew old

I guess it's much easier

To see the truth within our hearts

To see the things we let go so stupidly

But life is cruel and complicated

I wish that I could walk with you

Just one more time while we are young

Into the woods behind our house

And I would tell you how I really feel

But I guess we have too much to lose

And time has had it's way with us

Our footprints are still lying there underneath

15 years of fallen leaves

And now the house belongs to strangers

And the woods are ours no longer

When we grew up, we grew cold

I guess it's much easier

To blend the things within our hearts

It's easier to let go

'Cause life is cruel and complicated

And even though the memory is weak

Our hearts remember fondly all the things that used to matter

It was reckless of me to believe we have forever

'Cause no one has forever

I wish that I could walk with you

Just one more time while we are young

Into the woods behind our house

And I would tell you how I really feel

But I guess we have too much to lose

And time has had it's way with us

Our footprints are still lying there underneath

15 years of fallen leaves

I wish that I could walk with you

Just one more time while we are young

Into the woods behind our house

And I would tell you how I really feel

But I guess we have too much to lose

And time has had it's way with us

Our footprints are still lying there underneath

15 years of fallen leaves
