[Verse 1] You wore the season like a tailored coat Gold on the pavement, smoke in your throat I watched you turn from the garden gate Too proud to hurry, too late to wait [Pre-Chorus] The trees undress for me One leaf at a time You want what you can’t keep So keep your hands off mine [Chorus] Autumn suits me better than you Rust on the windows, red in the view I let the cold come crawling through You lose your nerve, I never do [Verse 2] A paper cup cooled beside your hand You drew my name where the rain had planned The afternoon sank under velvet gray I took your jacket and walked away [Pre-Chorus] The orchard bends its knees The air turns sharp and fine You call it melancholy I call it mine [Chorus] Autumn suits me better than you Rust on the windows, red in the view I let the cold come crawling through You lose your nerve, I never do [Bridge] Let the branches scratch the glass Let the bright months lose their claim Every season has to pass I look best when nothing stays [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Autumn suits me better than you Brown leaves gathering under my shoe I let the whole world darken to blue You lose your nerve, I never do [Outro] I never do I never do
