lyrics

I will write you back, always
It's the same mistake, I know
You are a beginning without an end-
A love I can't let go

Fall swept in like a fever or a birthright
Proud, and heavy with change

I watched the leaves turn from green to red
(as though the skyline had caught on fire)

All at once, I felt you were not coming back
as I watched the world I knew burn

I bowed my head in silence, waiting for a great and terrible loss
to overcome me
like all of the air in the world had been sucked up
and left us for dead

But it did not come

It was the absence of absence
It was the harshness of truth

Then, I knew that I no longer loved you

I zipped up my jacket, and turned to walk home
