...when autumn comes, it doesn't ask
it just walks in where it left you last
you never know when it starts
until there's fog around the glass around your summer heart.

...i can't be sure if this state of mind is not of my own design.
but i wish(!) there was an over-the-counter test
for my loneliness // for my loneliness like this.

something is always missing, and i don't know how i'm ever gonna fix it.
something is always missing, and i don't know how i'm ever gonna be me.

they always say 'fix it and forget it,'
but i think it works the other way,
'cause only when you're done counting little points
do you ever learn to live your way

something will always be missing
if you're looking for a maybe // if you're looking for a maybe
you will always be looking for something
for the sensation to find nothing

something's missing
and i don't know (no) // and i don't know (no) // and i don't know (no)

autumn doesn't ask, it just walks right in. and if the fog builds around the summer heart... what could THIS year's winter possibly bring?
