Headstones and Dead Leaves - Glossary

I don’t want you to die for me

Or give up anything that you love

I know the world can be cruel enough

And headstones and dead leaves

Are just reminders of

What happens to living things

Like us

I don’t want you to cry over me

Or be anything that I know you’re not

Even when everything you ever though you wanted

Turns out not to be enough

And empty roads and willow trees

Are just reminders of

What its like to be lonely things like us

Outside the street lights scrape into th sky

And lean like skeltons trying to hold up the night

While all the regrets we’ve carried our whole lives

Get buried in the earth

And we’ll walk away alive, yeah we’ll walk away alive
