lyrics

An awkward moment fading into comfort
with sighs of relief heaved so deeply down.
I promised I'd be there where you last left me:
patiently on call in case you need me, finally.


On ash-toned leaves off ember-frosted trees (under our feet)
with pumpkin faces (carved sarcastically) in boastful revelry.
We'll watch the weather as it prematurely darkens.
We could stall forever and defer declaring anything.

And I was frozen in place 'til your return.


With a routine embrace breaking any tension.
We ran out of words so many years ago.
It figures we'd be better off in silence.
A broken record's cycling can grow old, instantly.

So fall always took you so far away from here
leaving me joining all of DC in missing you.
You hated the cold cuz I couldn't keep you warm
and I was frozen in place 'til your return.

I was frozen in place 'til your return.

(Locked in a space in case you needed me,
memorized this face that you see,
in spite of all the resulting misery.
And I wonder if you even noticed.
Did you notice?)
