lyrics

I've set up camp in my car
So as no to wake the house
Because this hour is unnatural to
The better half of the world
And it's becoming apparent
That I'm not the better half
From my poor decisions
And my constant acts of indiscretion

And I say
Autumn is an excuse to be lonely
And you say
That's nothing more than justification
And you couldn't be more correct
If you tried your best
I really am a mess
Just like you said

I'm trying to pretend
Like I don't live for the sound of your voice
And I'm trying to pretend
Like I really have a choice
To resist the goings-on
Between you and me
Or am I mistaking your desire
For something more like chemistry

And I say
Autumn is an excuse to be lonely
And you say
That's nothing more than justification
And you couldn't be more correct
If you tried your best
I really am a mess
Just like you said

Just like you said
Just like you said

Your mind has drifted back overseas
If I joined the Peace Corps
Would it make your fall in love with me?
If I dropped a bomb, took a chance
Would it change your mind
Or have I overestimated
My position in your life?

And I say
Autumn will be the death of me
And you say
Not a word, you just let me make mistakes
And I start to fray at the edge
And you grab the string and pull
And I unravel
And everything falls apart
