Fall
Alina Lieske Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Martha loves spring
Phoebe the summer
Mom adores wintertime
And Dad agrees
But I just close my eyes and smile

Chess doesn't care
Neither does Lizzy
They dont't choose the season of the year
But I just turn my head and look outside

It's fall, my fall
That gives me the strength
To start again each year
The trust in my own god
It's fall, my fall
And I get back to me

May there be
A white december
May there be
A wonderful july
But I just keep my tears inside

You may think
March is renewing
You may think
We're living every day
But I don't burn 'til leaves turn red

It's fall, my fall that makes me aware
Of all that's worth it still
One day I may succeed
It's fall, may fall,
It's fall, my fall
It's fall, my fall
And I get back




And I get back
To me
