[Verse 1] You bloom in autumn, By June, I've accepted you're gone. By August, I’ve moved on. Then October hits — and we’re back where we began, Like pumpkin spice — predictable, overpriced. Still pretending this time’s “the time”, That we might actually succeed. But I’ve got a fifty-dollar bill that says — [Pre-Chorus] We’ll be done by Halloween — You’ll ghost, or I’ll scare you away. Trick ourselves like it’s a treat, And sink our teeth into each other just to bleed. [Chorus] We’re seasonal — We never stay. October ends, and so do we but -- It’s okay, it’s okay — You were never meant to stay. (We never meant it anyway.) You were never meant to stay. (We never meant it anyway.) [Verse 2] Legs Avenue Halloween for me. You’re too cool to commit, so you’re just... Fishnets and six-inch heels, With a heart I rented for the season. Tomorrow brings the inevitable — A seed sown with good intentions, Too perennial to remain. And I’ll head back home for Thanksgiving alone. [Final Chorus] We’re seasonal — We never stay. October ends, and so do we but -- It’s okay, it’s okay — You were never meant to stay. (We never meant it anyway.) You were never meant to stay. (We never meant it anyway.) [Outro – Soft or Spoken] You’re not gone, but you’re not near. We were always just a seasonal affair, dear. Some things wilt too fast to hold. But I'll see you next year.
