The autumn leaves they rush outside my window
Like theyve got something so important they must do
Sara will be home now any minute
She likes her third grade teacher and looks
So much like you

I struck a match to light the furnace in the hallway
I could smell the summer dust burning in the vent
Its just another thing that brings
Your memory back to me
I think that sara knows Im troubled
By that scent, she reads my mind

Im just fine til the end of september
Then I remember losing you october 89
If I live in the past, theres no future
Im looking forward to leaving october behind

Theres a girl I really like down at the office
Me and sara asked her out for new years eve
It made me cry when I told her all about us
But sara says theres nothing wrong with me
It just takes time

Im just fine til the end of september
Then I remember losing you october 89
If I live in the past, theres no future
Im looking forward to leaving october behind

All things work for good
Has become my favorite verse
Sara told me that they would
But when the nights get cold
And the leaves turn rust and gold
Thats when your memory hurts

Im just fine til the end of september
Then I remember losing you october 89
If I live in the past, theres no future
Im looking forward to leaving october behind
