Every Autumn
One thing the leafs and I
Have in common is

We both
Seem to fall
Can't get back up
Till springtime comes

We just seem to change colors
Then we wilt away

Stepped on
Raked away

We're dead in Winter
Springtime brings us together
Summer hits and were stronger than every
Autumn arrives and we fall again

This year I wanna break the chain
Start over so when
Autumn comes around
I'm not going to fall with the leafs

I'll stand on my own feet

It may sound like a metaphor but ever since Autumn I've been tripping, falling and bruising more than ever
