Only Autumn

The way it feels before a storm

Lightning strikes to keep my hands warm

To keep me warm

Close enough to see

But too far to touch

The winds at my feet are in a rush

Knocking me over

Straight to the ground

Won't you let me go

If you're gonna let me down

You said, "It's only autumn"

I said, "It's way too cold"

At least winter is honest

'Cause these lies are growing so old

As I started to shiver

And it crawled down my spine

I took off my coat

And the temperature started to climb

The way it feels before a storm

Lightning strikes to keep my hands warm

To keep me warm

To keep me

I know you think I've forgotten

What you said that afternoon

But your words are anything but gone

Consider them tattooed

All along my ribcage

Ink the colors in your eyes

I said it's nice to have met you

But I fell for your disguise

You are the way it feels

Before the storm

Your lightning strikes to keep my hands warm

To keep me warm

You're close enough to see

But too far to touch

The winds at my feet are in a rush

Knocking me over

Straight to the ground

Would you call it lost if I don't want to be found?
