lyrics

Fall

I was born in September when the leaves were turning brown
Halfway between the summer and the wintertime
And that may be why I never make up my mind, who knows?

I loved a man who tried but didn’t know how
And I loved a man who often let me down
And that may be why I never throw my heart around

Cause I would like to know why
Why we never learn anything in time to be wise
And in your case, I never learn at all
I just fall and fall and fall

Well if you saw the girl I am in front of you now
You’d think of something better you could say
So I’ll take this as your final bid
A better thing I never did than walk away

CHORUS

When I go, I hope they say that I was brave
Whatever heartache caution could have saved
Let them say that I was hopeful
Whatever hand I played
