Leaves

Lyrics By Justin Greer

woke up this morning on the wrong side of my bed.
rolled over quickly. it's too late, i'm already dead.
it's days like this i'm scared to leave myself alone with me.
i'm so afraid that i might drown in this sea of grief.
The water's still above normal height from the flood in July.
I wanna get out of bed, but i just lay back down and cry.
My friend asks me "why do you always swim when you know you could fly?"
i'm left there puzzled, lying on the floor.
don't know what to say except for,

the leaves are falling down but,
i'm already on the ground.
guess they'll cover me,
in a blanket of leaves.
and come spring i'll be found.

And i often wonder if the leaves are falling where she's at now.
And then i start to wish that i was with her right now.
Hey, is a second chance to much to ask?
I guess i've always wanted more than i've had.
I look up at the trees. the leaves are turning, everythings changing.
I see the storm clouds of my past and then it starts raining.

Chorus:

Don't want the sun to come out today.
cause in the darkness i can't see you walk away.
i need to feel the rain, wash away my pain, cover up the light.
Yeah, and i need the snow, to cover me in white.
i lie in my bed and stare at the sky, watch the lightning strike,
watch the cars go by, and pretend i'm still alive.
dead to myself, dead to the world, but still living a lie.
I just wish it would rain.
Oh God i wish it would rain. Chorus:
