Maple Leaves

It's autumn in Gothenburg
I'm walking home to my suburb
Rain falls hard on the city
On every homeless kitty

Oh please God bring relief
Even if it's only brief
That she says that we were just make-believe
But I thought she said maple leaves

So we talked for hours
And you cried into my sheets
And you said you hated your body
That it was just a piece of meat
I disagreed

I think you're beautiful
But it's impossible
To make you understand
That if you don't take my hand
I'll lose my mind completely
Madness will finally defeat me

She said it was all make-belief
But I thought she said maple leaves
And when she talked about the fall
I thought she talked about the season
I never understood at all

I thought she said maple leaves
And when she talked about the fall
I thought she talked about Mark E Smith
I never understood at all
I never understood at all
I never understood at all
