aaron west & the roaring twenties - dead leaves lyrics

[verse 1]
there’s a phone disconnected on the counter by the sink
and a note that you wrote down on a legal pad in blue ink
last year i tried the number but the line’s dead
and i touch it for good luck when i’m leaving

[verse 2]
i take a train to the city, it feels like my life’s playing back in reverse
and somewhere in the static, i hear it mumble a satanic curse
my guitar and some clothes for the weekend
i wave when we’re passing through brooklyn

[chorus]
the earth starts to open wide
it swallows us whole when we get to the river
i close my eyes
my ears start to pop as we go underwater
i grip the train seat, breathing steady
i’m gonna make ’em believe

[verse 3]
i ride the b down the 4th street, climbed into autumn up mta stairs
and cut close past the fountain here at father demo square
the dead leaves scr+pe the concrete behind me
you think that by now i’d have learned to stop turning
[chorus]
but it’s you this time
you’re walking alone and you’re pushing a stroller
the november light hangs low in the sky and reflects off the water
the gold glare hides me
i could be anybody
and i stand paralyzed on the street

[refrain]
’cause it’s you this time
oh it’s you this time
but it’s you this time
oh it’s you this time

[verse 4]
up the block when i come to i see our name on the marquee
and smile cause i love you and i know you found what you need
the future’s a rhetorical question
so i open the door and i walk in
