[Verse 1]
Where was I going?
It was so nice there in the moment
Guess it was boring
Knowing you'd be there in the morning
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought it would be said and done
When I walked out of the door
That I closed then
Could you tell me if it's still open?
[Chorus]
The leaves were turning red and the air was getting colder
I couldn't tell if it was love or just October
Started to regret it when I left you on the corner
I guess the weather wasn't why I want you closer
I-I-I-I-I-I-I'm wondering if I should call
'Cause now I'm in bed wishing we were on your sofa
Why did the feeling start
When it was over?
[Verse 2]
Well, there I said it
Hope it's not too late to regret it
'Cause, wow (Wow, wow), you look happy
And it hurts that you're not smiling at me (Okay)
[Pre-Chorus]
I (I wish, I wish, I wish) wish I could go back in time
Choose the other side of the door (Of the door)
That I closed then (Closed then)
Could you tell me if it's still open? (Me, if, open)
[Chorus]
The leaves were turning red and the air was getting colder
I couldn't tell if it was love or just October
Started to regret it when I left you on the corner
I guess the weather wasn't why I want you closer
I-I-I-I-I-I-I'm wondering if I should call
'Cause now I'm in bed wishing we were on your sofa
Why did the feeling start
When it was over?
[Bridge]
(Oh-oh-ohh)
(Oh-oh-ohh, ohh, ohh)
Well, now I'm here, and now you're there
I let you go, too proud to care
And, oh, isn't it so ironic
Now it's me who's falling hard and
Reminiscing, looking back?
I wish I knew I wanted that
I wish I knew I wanted that
I wish I knew I want you back
[Chorus]
The leaves were turning red and the air was getting colder
I couldn't tell if it was love or just October
And I regret it, how I left you on the corner
I guess the weather wasn't why I want you closer
I-I-I-I-I-I-I'm wondering if I should call
'Cause now I'm in bed wishing we were on your sofa
Why did the feeling start
When it was over?

When I wrote this song, it immediately felt special… the kind of feeling you have as a toddler when you learn you can finally color a picture fully inside the lines… and then again when you discover you don’t need the picture book and can draw something you’re proud of without the guidance of lines....
