Autumn Came Back

(album: Make A Little Room - 2022)

I was riding pretty high on a heat wave
Living every weekend like the Fourth of July
Blacktop had to be two-hundred degrees
I was racing away from goodbye

Then the beaches closed down and the schools opened up
Leaving her love behind is easier said than done

Autumn came back like she always does
Crashed and burned that summertime buzz
Just when I think I'm 'round the bend
A cool wind blows, I fall again
Autumn came back, brought me to my knees
Lights up my world up 'til she leaves
Had a good thing going, thought I finally left her in the past
But just like that, Autumn came back

She don't even know how just the sound of her voice
Could knock me back like the wind
Trying to pick up where we left off
Like a heartbreak never happened

Autumn came back like she always does
Crashed and burned that summertime buzz
Just when I think I'm 'round the bend
A cool wind blows, I fall again
Autumn came back, brought me to my knees
Lights up my world up 'til she leaves
Had a good thing going, thought I finally left her in the past
But just like that, Autumn came back

Yeah, Autumn came back (Oh)

Yeah, we fall in, then she fades out
Homecoming Queen raining on my parade now
Yeah, we fall in, then she fades out
And I break down

Autumn came back like she always does
Crashed and burned that summertime buzz
Just when I think I'm 'round the bend
A cool wind blows, I fall again
Autumn came back, brought me to my knees
Lights up my world up 'til she leaves
Had a good thing going, thought I finally left her in the past
But just like that, Autumn came back

Yeah, Autumn came back
Brought me to my knees
(Oh, oh)
Autumn came back
Autumn came back
(Oh, oh) Oh-ho, yeah
Autumn came back
Autumn came back
