lin
    
            
We lost you la

     
st week
      
              
But you walked

           
 into the room

   
 again


[Verse 2]
    
              
And you never 

              
took the ski m

     
ask off
      
              
When I asked y

              
ou to, you tur

      
ned away
    
              
And reappeared

            
 with new tatt

 
oos
      
              
The timbre of 

             
your voice had

# 
 changed


[Pre-Chorus 1]
  
              
I know it's a 

      
bad dream


[Chorus]
             
But oh, I wann

t can stay her

              
e when you go
           
'Cause I know

They're all te

[Verse 3]
           
There's a stil

              
lnеss in the a

  
ir

In the late Se

ptember dusk

And the maple leaves come

Crashing down all at once

And paint the pavement crimson red
           
I'm catatonic,

              
 wandering off

A song about d

eath in my hea

d
           
And I can't he

         
lp but hum alo

ng


[Pre-Chorus 2]
  
  
It feels like 

a bad dream


[Chorus]
             
But oh, I wann

              
a build, wanna

              
 build you bac

              
k from memory
             
Something that

              
 can stay, tha

              
t can stay her

'Cause I know

They're all te
