lyrics

She says, “There is an Autumn river behind those eyes.
If you want, you can let your dead thoughts float by.”
There are wet leaves pressed in pages that will stay with me for life
How do you get by?
(When the tree was gone, I wanted to blame it on the weather
I thought how selfish one could be to cut down another living thing)

The man recovered roots so perfectly imposed
Everything will someday outgrow its home
There’s a vacancy, there’s an ever changing scenery
And I’m in between
Will you grow with me?
We can count each other’s rings
I will trim your leaves
I will always keep you green

(If I fall and no one’s around, do I still make a sound? Or will I just be down?)

We are who we choose to be
I looked in Norene’s mirror
And it felt okay to see me

(It’s not my business what you do behind closed doors
I heard you grieving over the telephone)

How do you get by?
