lyrics

It made shadows in my room
When the moon strew light
Its branches were arms
But my blanket held me tight
I’d call for mom and dad
When the wind tapped the glass
But now I call and no one hears
Those nights are in my past

It must be fall
Because the leaves on my family tree have fallen down
Or at least apart
What comes with winter?
When the snow falls between the cold trees’ naked arms
And onto mine
Then with spring
The rain comes and there’s nowhere to hide
And with summer there’s no shade in sight
Under a tree that used to be
A family

The house is here, the tree is dead
This house is not a home
Broken like the splitting wood
The leaves are all gone
I can try to beg my way
Out from under this tree
But I cannot control
That which created me

It must be fall
Because the leaves on my family tree have fallen down
Or at least apart
What comes with winter?
When the snow falls between the cold trees’ naked arms
And onto mine
Then with spring
The rain comes and there’s nowhere to hide
And with summer there’s no shade in sight
Under a tree that used to be
A family

Why grow me up only to cut me down?
What am I good for now?
Watch me burn
Why grow me up only to cut me down?
What am I good for now?
Watch me burn

It must be fall
Because the leaves on my family tree have fallen down
Or at least apart
What comes with winter?
When the snow falls between the cold trees’ naked arms
And onto mine
Then with spring
The rain comes and there’s nowhere to hide
And with summer there’s no shade in sight
Under a tree that used to be
A family

Why grow me up only to cut me down?
What am I good for now?
Watch me burn
