[Intro] You keep a month I keep falling through it Not the weather You [Verse 1] You talk about October like it still lives in your hands Like the trees still owe you that one long afternoon I sit across from your memory and I try to understand How a man can miss a season He already walked through You do not look at me when you get to the good part You look past me, into a yard I can still name And I feel the old drop start Not from a height From your mouth saying my name [Pre-Chorus] Inside your memories I am better than I was Inside your memories I am worth the cost [Chorus] I fall for the fall Inside your memories I fall for the girl Who still carries me I fall for the fall Not the cold, not the trees I fall for the way You still keep me [Verse 2] It should be simple, a month, a coat, a road, a gate It should be over, filed under weather and luck But you tell it warm and I come apart on the date Like the first time your mouth Had cider and I got stuck I am not in love with a calendar square I am in love with the room you make when you speak You build a country out of early dark air And I buy land in it Every time you breathe [Pre-Chorus] Inside your memories I am the man you keep Inside your memories I do not have to sleep [Chorus] I fall for the fall Inside your memories I fall for the girl Who still carries me I fall for the fall Not the cold, not the trees I fall for the way You still keep me [Verse 3] If you stopped telling it I think I would still drop I have learned the route by heart, porch to orchard to town But I need your voice to make the landing stop Without you talking I just hit the ground So say it again, even if you sand the truth Even if I hated that in another song Tonight I want the version that still has youth I want to fall on purpose And I want to fall long [Bridge] This is not weather This is not a pretty month This is me losing my feet In a story you still want Call it weak Call it late Call it what you need I fall for the fall Because the fall still has you in it And that is enough For me [Breakdown] Your mouth That month My name That drop I fall I fall I fall And I do not want to stop [Chorus] I fall for the fall Inside your memories I fall for the girl Who still carries me I fall for the fall Not the cold, not the trees I fall for the way You still keep me [Final Chorus] I fall for the fall Do not take the telling back If I only live there Let me live in that I fall for the fall Inside the room you make If October is yours Then let me break [Outro] You speak I drop You keep I stay I fall For the fall The only way I know How to stay
