In the fall, we circle through the leaves
And talk about the little ones
And we smile, but never say too much
The moment always vanishing
One by one the neighbours' lights come on
Our October day is almost gone
I know the borderlines we drew between us
Keep the weapons down, keep the wounded safe
I know our antebellum innocence
Was never meant to see the light of our armistice day
In spring, we climbed the rolling hills
And talked about our budding plans
And we smiled, our faces like a mirror
Showing us our secret sides
But then the fights, the sharp words splintering the night
Oh, I couldn't be what you need
But oh, how I could make you bleed
I know the borderlines we drew between us
Keep the weapons down, keep the wounded safe
I know our antebellum innocence was never meant to see the light of our armistice
But how much would I give to have you back again
How much did we lose to live this way
(new voice) You'll go home, I'll stay here
Seasons keep on marching
I'll stay here, you'll go home
With all these strangers watching
I know the borderlines we drew between us (You'll go home, I'll stay here)
Keep the weapons down, keep the wounded safe (Seasons keep on marching)
I know our antebellum innocence (I'll stay here, you'll go home)
Was never meant to see the light of our armistice (With all these strangers watching)
I know the borderlines we drew between us (You'll go home, I'll stay here)
Keep the weapons down, keep the wounded safe (Seasons keep on marching)
I know our antebellum innocence (I'll stay here, you'll go home)
Was never meant to see the light of our armistice (With all these strangers watching)
