Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rust on the swings in the backyard
Smoke from the leaves in the ditch
We said some words like broken bottles
Left them buried in the grass
In the pitch
[Chorus]
These shadows in the fall
Carry every name I called you
Every cracked and crooked truth
I was scared to say at all
If I face what I became
Will you answer when I call?
In the amber and the ache
We are shadows in the fall
[Verse 2]
You kept the sweater I bled on
From that night I hit the wall
I kept your letters in my glove box
Like a crime I couldn’t solve
[Chorus]
These shadows in the fall
Carry every name I called you
Every cracked and crooked truth
I was scared to say at all
If I face what I became
Will you answer when I call?
In the amber and the ache
We are shadows in the fall
[Bridge]
I was all sharp teeth
You were soft relief
I tore right through
Blamed it all on you
Can we learn that old language
Where forgiveness sounds like rain?
Say it slow
Say it shaking
I will never run again (never again)
[Chorus]
These shadows in the fall
Don’t erase the things I did
But they show the shape of us
In the branches
In the wind
If I hold the hurt I gave you
Let it cut me through and through
Can we step out of the dark
Find a truer shade of you?
These shadows in the fall
Are a map back through it all
If we speak it
If we stay
We are more than what we were
Shadows in the fall
