[Verse 1] You left in a rush Took the plants Left the chair Two cracked mugs in the sink And umbrellas everywhere One by the front door One still wet in the tub Tiny black collapsible Like a failed little shield for love [Chorus] We were leftover umbrellas Crowded in a stranger’s hall Always ready for the weather Never ready for the fall Now it’s clear outside my window Skies are bright and blue above Still I’m tripping on the memories Of the things we used to cover up [Verse 2] Found a train stub in your pocket From a trip I didn’t take All the routes you ran alone Blooming in my bottom drawer like mistakes I keep one in my backpack Folded Waiting for some storm Old habits of a forecast Where the chaos always felt like warm [Chorus] We were leftover umbrellas Crowded in a stranger’s hall Always ready for the weather Never ready for the fall Now it’s clear outside my window Skies are bright and blue above Still I’m tripping on the memories Of the things we used to cover up [Bridge] Maybe next September I’ll forget which one was yours (maybe) Leave it in a café corner By the squeaky sliding doors (hey) [Chorus] We were leftover umbrellas Crowded in a stranger’s hall Always ready for the weather Never ready for the fall Now the forecast’s finally empty And the sun feels almost rough But I’m lighter by an armful Of the things we used to cover up
