(ahhh) It's the kind of night where the leaves don't fall —
they just let go.
Everything smells like rain that already happened.
I keep the screen on so the room doesn't disappear.
Cold glass against my arm
The screen's the only warm thing left
Another autumn doing harm
I keep rewinding, can't forget (mmmmm) (ooooh)
I know this street by sound alone
The hiss, the creak,
the cooling fan
This season finds me on my own
The way it always,
always can (ahhhh)
I let the cold come in
I watch the hours thin
The glow stays on (ooooh) (mmmmm) (ahhh)
The monitor hums in D minor
—
I checked once.
I haven't moved in three hours.
Maybe that's fine.
The same four walls keep teaching me
How stillness has a frequency
I hum along, I hum alone
(mmmmm hmmmm)
I let the cold come in
I watch the hours thin
The glow stays on (ooooh) (ahhhh) (mmmmm) (ahhh)
