If spring is the season that wakes me alive Then fall is the season to contemplate life, oh, yeah I don't know what is it exactly in this time of year That makes the melancholy me reappear, oh, yeah Back and forth through Dark roast coffee, salt mist and sea Sand and amber trees 'Cause it still feels like summer, but it's soaked in nostalgia Slowly, all the leaves start turnin' brown 'Cause it still feels like summer and I simply don't wanna See the cool wind sneak back in our town 'Cause we lived when it was all bare feet Tanned skin glistenin' beneath the heat Evenin's swirlin' to a birdsong beat God, it's now so very bittersweet So I guess I'll just put on my favorite sweater And say goodbye to summer I keep on forgettin' time's learned how to fly And before I know it, it passes me by, oh, yeah I don't know why when life is beautiful, I start to fear It'll slip through my fingers and just disappear, oh, yeah Back and forth through Dark roast coffee, salt mist and sea Sand and amber trees 'Cause it still feels like summer, but it's soaked in nostalgia Slowly, all the leaves start turnin' brown 'Cause it still feels like summer and I simply don't wanna See the cool wind sneak back in our town 'Cause we lived when it was all bare feet Tanned skin glistenin' beneath the heat Evenin's swirlin' to a birdsong beat God, it's now so very bittersweet So I guess I'll just put on my favorite sweater And say goodbye to summer Goodbye to summer If life is an ocean wave I'll stand on the shore and wait Panoramic point of view It paints a different kinda you And nothin's permanent but change Waves never crash in the same place There's really not much you can do But marvel at the residue 'Cause it still feels like summer, but it's soaked in nostalgia Slowly, all the leaves start turnin' brown 'Cause it still feels like summer and I simply don't wanna See the cool wind sneak back in our town But I guess I'll just put on my favorite sweater And say goodbye to summer
