“Autumn Leaves” is a song to a former lover, apologizing for the singer’s immaturity and cowardliness when they were together at a younger age. Now, the singer feels they have changed, like the leaves do in the autumn, for the better.
[Verse 1]
Please, don't change for me
I never wanted this in the first place, you see
Please, walk on that
The closer I get to you I lose my mind
[Chorus]
I thought I saw you today
But nobody was there
I thought I saw you today
But nobody was there
[Verse 2]
Do me a favor and I'll return it later
That's what we said when we were young
The coward lying inside me was still rising
And it's hard to say, just what I become
You keep the shuffle and move around those muscles
Until you feel, a weight coming off
The constant action they're moving and they're passing
Autumn leaves, they have just begun
[Chorus]
I thought I saw you today
But nobody was there
I thought I saw you today
But nobody was there
And the autumn leaves are falling
I cannot find my way
And the autumn leaves are falling
I cannot find my place
[Bridge]
What are you talking about now?
What are you talking about now?
I don't need it anymore
What are you talking about now?
I don't need it anymore
What are you talking about?
The Walters released Autumn Leaves on Wed Dec 23 2015.
