Autumn

(album: The American Dream - 2018)

(And the days don't stop, stop)
(And the days don't stop, stop)
(And the days don't stop, stop)
(Stop, stop)

Staring at the dead leaves in a backyard pool
Where did my life go?
What a spectacular view
All those old Irish songs at my grandfather's funeral
Seventeen candles on a birthday cake
Seems like yesterday
Fell in and out of love and hard drugs
Found my heart in Los Angeles

I don't have any answers for you kid
I'm still figuring out what I'm doing here
Keep your home in your heart
Keeps you out of the rain
Don't let those sad songs rot your brain

I hold the wheel while you light your cigarette
Burning down the highway out of here
My twenties clipping at my heels
I've been killing myself just to know how it feels
Laid out on my childhood bed
To the sound of "Sam's Town" and my hands behind my head

I don't have any answers for you kid
I'm still figuring out what I'm doing here
Keep your home in your heart
Keeps you out of the rain
Don't let those sad songs rot your brain

Ask me again why I'm never really here
Nothing has to leave when it lives in my head
Ask me again why I'm never really here
Nothing lives forever, but it lives in my head

I don't have any answers for you kid
I'm still figuring out what I'm doing here
Keep your home in your heart
Keeps you out of the rain
Don't let those sad songs rot your brain

(And the days don't stop, stop)
(And the days don't stop, stop)
(And the days don't stop, stop)
Don't let those sad songs rot your brain
(Stop, stop)

(And the days don't stop, stop)
(And the days don't stop, stop)
(And the days don't stop, stop)
Don't let those sad songs rot your brain
(Stop, stop)
