Summer’s over – It’s that time of year when
Sunlight is replaced by a glow from the den
The fall line up promises irresolute conflicts and antics
But nothing can take my mind from you
“So what’s new?”
“Nothing’s new – same shit since 22.”
“Don’t tell me the ending, ‘cause I know I’ll make it true.”
“I can’t stand looking through the window.”
“I can’t stand another winter.”
Remember when you used to snow, now you just turn blue
And all the static has turned silent
If only you could force a smile upon me just for a little while
I’m cut and bruised from all this violence
“So what’s new?”
“Nothing’s new – same shit since 19two.”
“Don’t tell me the ending, ‘cause I know I’ll make it true.”
“I can’t stand looking through the window.”
“I can’t stand another winter.”
I’m sure that it’s raining because of something you did
They give you an hour, just to take it back in spring
Might save me, but it’s seven months away
Spring might save me…
I’m counting down the days
Leaves are falling, trampled underfoot like
Pamphlets for the summer’s end
The fall line up fails to live up to expectations
Nothing’s more reliable than disappointment
“So what’s new?”
“Nothing’s new – same shit since 62.”
“Don’t tell me the ending, ‘cause I know I’ll make it true.”
“I can’t stand looking through the window.”
“I can’t stand another winter.”
