Autumnv6

[Intro] The road slips through my fingers like the fading light Autumn leaves are falling in the quiet night [Verse 1] I traced the map of every word you said The compass spins, the north star's gone to bed The windshield cracks beneath the weight of rain The rearview shows a town I can't recall I gave you everything and all I got was pain Now I'm just a shadow on a garden wall [Chorus] Why the road has slipped right through my hands Like water through the cracks of broken plans Do you wanna hold her all through the night? While I'm out here losing every fight Autumn leaves are scattered on the ground The silence is the only sound I've found [Refrain] And the road keeps slipping through my hands Through my hands, through my hands And the road keeps slipping through my hands I don't understand [Verse 2] I built a bridge from ashes and from dust The iron rusts, the cables turn to rust You wore her laughter like a winter coat While I was freezing in the summer heat I wrote her name on every single note But the melody was incomplete [Chorus] Why the road has slipped right through my hands Like water through the cracks of broken plans Do you wanna hold her all through the night? While I'm out here losing every fight Autumn leaves are scattered on the ground The silence is the only sound I've found [Bridge] Maybe someday I'll find a different street Where the pavement doesn't cut my feet Maybe someday I'll learn to let it go But tonight I just wanted you to know That the road was never mine to keep And the promises were buried way too deep [Refrain] And the road keeps slipping through my hands Through my hands, through my hands And the road keeps slipping through my hands I don't understand [Verse 3] So I'll drive until the headlights burn away And the morning finds me somewhere new I'll leave the autumn leaves where they will stay And I won't look back for you The road is just a line I have to cross I'm not the one who wins and you're not the loss [Chorus] Why the road has slipped right through my hands Like water through the cracks of broken plans Do you wanna hold her all through the night? While I'm out here losing every fight Autumn leaves are scattered on the ground The silence is the only sound I've found [Refrain] And the road keeps slipping through my hands Through my hands, through my hands And the road keeps slipping through my hands I don't understand [Outro] The road slips through my hands Autumn leaves are scattered on the ground Do you wanna hold her all through the night? Knowing you're the one who holds her tight
