Queen of Autumn

[Verse 1]
Does he want to dance in your living room?
Is he giving you room?
I always pushed the couch and cushions aside
Does he want to stare at the sky?
I've always asked why we were cooped inside
We’d go outside
Are you living
Or just trying to stay alive?

[Chorus]
Sleep tight, darling
I hope your bad dreams went away
I hope he wraps his arms around you
And doesn’t make a sound
You always hated being woken up
I should’ve spoken up and said just what was on my mind the day you packed your things
Now October 31st is just a night that brings
About memories of you leaving, instead of trick-or-treating
I hope you have a spooky Halloween
You’ll always be the queen of autumn to me

[Verse 2]
Why don’t you sing his songs?
I knew it all along
They’re not about you
I would sing to you every day
Every day
(Every day)
I thought I’d found you
But your back was turned, and you thought I heard you say goodbye
But I’m stubborn and you know it, and I’m not too proud to show it
And at least I tried

[Chorus]
Sleep tight, darling
I hope your bad dreams went away
I hope he wraps his arms around you
And doesn’t make a sound
You always hated being woken up
I should’ve spoken up and said just what was on my mind the day you packed your things
Now October 31st is just a night that brings
About memories of you leaving, instead of trick-or-treating
I hope you have a spooky Halloween
You’ll always be the queen of autumn to me

[Bridge]
And I’m walking in circles as dark as the bags below my eyes
And I’m dancing with sinners the saints keep on feeding me lies
I just need some direction, and I won’t forget to mention

[Chorus]
Sleep tight, darling
I hope your bad dreams went away
I hope he wraps his arms around you
And doesn’t make a sound
You always hated being woken up
I should’ve spoken up and said just what was on my mind the day you packed your things
Now October 31st is just a night that brings
About memories of you leaving, instead of trick-or-treating
I hope you have a spooky Halloween
You’ll always be the queen of autumn to me
