MCP - FALL / ode to autumn (Live from CornerStore) Lyrics

Sitting in my bedroom
In September in the dark
I haven't been returning
Your messages or calls
My vision's kind of blurry
And the static in my ears
Makes it hard to think about
The past few weeks at all

The days are getting shorter
But leaves are staying green
The nights are getting longer
And I've caught you in between
A spiritual awakening
And full-scale mental break
I blame it on the seasons
Texas robbed me of my fall

My fall
My fall
My fall
My fall

Life seems simple
On the coast of Mexico
I've never really been there
So I'll never really know
I know my sky is stormy
And the porch light flickers on
The waves are crashing harder
And I know that I should run

Run closer to the sunshine
And leaves that stay so green
But nights are getting darker
And I'm caught up in between
A longing for the ocean
And a longing for the rain
But on the coast of Mexico
The seasons stay the same

I need my fall
My fall
My fall
My fall

I'm reminded of
The time you stole my heart
The time we watched the sunrise
From the roof of your old car

You told me you'd do anything
To never leave the state
I told you let's go anywhere
But the shore was much too far
I know you miss the palm trees
I know you miss the waves
I miss my father's laughter and
I really miss your face

The blossoms on the dogwood and
The smell of my hometown
I miss my seasons
I really miss my fall

My fall
