Fall, we felt her

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, not the best, but still good i guess

We held onto the remnants of the summer

As though we were holding onto the rope that would save our lives,

Dangling off the cliff, grasping on straws for hope,

Staring down the bitter slope.

 

We held onto the remnants of the summer

Like kids to balloon strings,

Like husbands and wives to rings,

And, as the bird sings, like worms to cool, muddy shelter

 

As the remnants peeled back

And

                D

                R

                O

                P

                P

                E

                D

Helter-skelter,

 

And oh,

Oh

                Oh,

Fall, we felt her.

 

We held onto the remnants of summer

With our tight, greedy fists,

Not ready to depart the sprinkler mists and swimming pools,

Not ready to fully lose what we already missed.

 

We held onto the remnants of summer,

But the remnants of summer,

They      just        let          go.
