No one noticed it, when I abandoned ship, like a leaf in autumn I, fell, I lost my grip
When you locked eyes with me, I didn’t feel at ease, I was waiting for the punchline, the jokes’ on me

But I’m open to, hearing something new
And I’ll open the door, to more lies

And it’s the dark, a canopy, the coldest arms around me
And they won’t let go, they won’t let go, they won’t let go

You’d yell endlessly to anyone who’d hear and your audience would beg you for more more more
The grass seemed greener when I was young, the summers lasted oh for so long

Then they disappeared, hello my many fears
With every turn of a page, the chapters the same

And it’s the dark, a canopy, the coldest arms around me
And they won’t let go, they won’t let go, they won’t let go

In lieu of this siege, I’ll take em off, get em off, the shackles off
Loosen the grip, tied all around

The grass it has not changed, the colour still the same, but the summer doesn’t feel how it used to feel
If I close my eyes I’m right back there, to the kid with the golden hair
