**VERSE 1** The kids were raking leaves into a pile And somebody had the very good idea To back up fifteen paces, get a running start And land right in the middle without fear So we did **VERSE 2** You looked at me and I already knew Before you even said a single word We dropped the rakes, we counted down from three And hit that pile like nothing we had heard Leaves everywhere **PRE-CHORUS** And I thought about how long it's been Since I did something just because it's fun No reason and no outcome and no plan Just you and me and running and the sun --- **CHORUS** Jump, jump, jump into the leaves with me Jump like nobody's watching, jump like we are free Jump like we were seven, jump like we're still young Jump like fall is magic and the best is yet to come Jump with me Jump with me --- **VERSE 3** The kids thought we had lost our minds completely Which is honestly the biggest compliment We did it three more times before the pile Was nothing but a scattered mess of spent October gold *(pre-chorus)* And I thought about how long it's been Since I did something just because it's fun No reason and no outcome and no plan Just you and me and running and the sun *(chorus)* Jump, jump, jump into the leaves with me Jump like nobody's watching, jump like we are free Jump like we were seven, jump like we're still young Jump like fall is magic and the best is yet to come Jump with me Jump with me --- **BRIDGE** *(slows down, gets tender)* Somewhere along the way we learned to be so careful Somewhere we got serious and small But every year October gives us back permission To be the kind of people who just jump and let it fall And I want to stay this loose with you forever I want to be the one who makes you run I want us to be old and still be jumping Still laughing, still ridiculous, still us Still us --- **FINAL CHORUS** *(big, full, anthemic)* Jump, jump, jump into the leaves with me Jump like nobody's watching, jump like we are free Jump like we were seven, jump like we're still young Jump like fall is magic and the best is yet to come *(tag, pull back to just voice)* Jump with me Still us Jump with me --- ```
