Come November

How long do you think you will stand

A fool in the desert, a boy with no plan

The day is on her last leg again

I cross it off slowly while the next one comes in

But it don't really matter

(You say) You can't have the world see you like this

And you can't stay for more than a night

That you'll be close where you are and that I will be missed

But still I can't turn out the lights

I don't wanna live in limbo baby

I don't want to come home to and empty bed

Said I'm so tired of the quiet baby

And I'm too young to play dead

So c'mon summer go out with grace

Lay down for a season and down for the rain

(You say) You can't have the world see you like this

And you can't stay for more than a night

That you'll be close where you are and that I will be missed

But I still can't turn out the lights

I can hear your footsteps

at the front door

and I can hear your heart rest

upon your poor soul

but it don't really matter

you'll be home come November

I can see trouble from here

Said I can see trouble from here

And I think I'm gonna break soon

Said I think I'm gonna break soon

(You say) You can't have the world see you like this

And you can't stay for more than a night

And I swear I hear your footsteps

At the front door

And I can hear your heart rest

Upon your poor soul

But it don't really matter, no it don't really matter

(You say) You can't have the world see you like this

And you can't stay for more than a night

That you'll be close where you are and that I will be missed

But I still can't turn out the lights

I can hear your footsteps

at the front door

and I can hear your heart rest

Upon your poor soul

But it don't really matter

You'll be home come November
