lyrics

My face is red and I am crying
The neighbors think that I am dying
The sounds I make are very loud and shrill

I speak a line that's nearly nonsense
My friend, his eyes become incredulous
We burst again a violent serious of laughs

Let the joy soak in your bones
And feel alright
If only for the night

Don't miss the simple pleasures
While they last
Or regret it once they've past

Snug as a bug in a rug
I take a sip out of my tea mug
I smile cause it makes me feel like I'm British

I've got a head that's full of thoughts
and solitude to let them process
I walk outside and feel nostalgic as grey

The autumn sky is full of clouds
I watch intently as they pass by
He paints them brightly with the sun that He sets

They search, they long, they wait, anticipate
The moment's their's, and soon it dissipates
We're missing life that's right in front of our eyes

Let the joy soak in your bones
And feel alright
If only for the night

Don't miss the simple pleasures
While they last
Or regret it once they've past
You gotta hold them while they last

I felt a longing in my chest
Wanting more receiving less

Fall is my favorite season
My face is chilled
Warm in my light grey hoody
I'm content with air

I sat and thought of how she'd
look with the leaves in her hair
I couldn't help but smile
Candy corn so near

(My face is red and I am crying
The neighbors think that I am dying
The sounds I make are very loud and shrill

I speak a line that's nearly nonsense
My friend, his eyes become incredulous
We burst again a violent serious of laughs

The autumn sky is full of clouds
I watch intently as they pass by
He paints them brightly with the sun that He sets

They search, they long, they wait, anticipate
The moment's their's, and soon it dissipates
We're missing life that's right in front of our eyes)

Let the joy soak in your bones
And feel alright
If only for the night

Don't miss the simple pleasures
While they last
Or regret it once they've past

Wish we were together
Wish I never met her
Life would be much better
There they all go

Let the joy soak in your bones
And feel alright
If only for the night

Don't miss the simple pleasures
While they last
Or regret it once they've past
You gotta hold them while they last

I felt a longing in my chest
Wanting more receiving less

Here I wait, and it's in vain
Fulfilling feelings never came

(Would you look at what's in front of you)

Reason tells me what to do
But still I somehow think of you

(Would you look at what's in front of you)

(wish I never thought of you)
