Down at the grocery store, by the checkout line, She looked so familiar He looked so kind Then, they recalled My high school crush I never told them at all Don’t look back, don’t call Back home alone, hangin’ wreaths on the wall, Pumpkin pies in the oven, Apple Cider candles in the hall. Planning gifts just to give, she’s ready for it all, She loves this time of year, fixin’ to fall. Fixin’ to fall, like the leaves from the trees, Fixin’ to fall, with a Southern breeze. Fixin’ to fall, didn’t see it at all, Fixin’ to fall He’s rakin’ up the backyard, whistlin’ in the leaves. Stackin’ wood for a fire, living alone with memories Another changing season, watching that old clock on the wall He loves that chill in the air, fixin’ to fall. Fixin’ to fall, like the leaves from the trees, Fixin’ to fall, with a Southern breeze. Fixin’ to fall, didn’t see it at all, Fixin’ to fall Walking downtown, eyes meet this time He reaches for her hand, connections realign That crush they never mentioned, no words say it all, At long last, at long last they’re fixin’ to fall. Fixin’ to fall, like the leaves from the trees, Fixin’ to fall, with a Southern breeze. Fixin’ to fall, now they finally see it all, Fixin’ to fall They were always fixin’ to fall. Christmas lights are glowin’, firewood stacked tall, Together at last, fixin’ to fall. Best friends and more, it’s written on the wall, Forever they’re fixin’ to fall. Forever they’re fixin’ to fall.
