next fall

music, lyrics, vocals, rhythm guitars, bass guitar, and mixing by Vigilant Baker ( vigilantbaker.bandcamp.com/ ), backing vocals, lead guitar, and keys by em grace (@undeniableEmG)

are you waiting for me?
i guess it’s been a long time
i remember your promises
do you still remember mine?
 
i know i’ve made mistakes
more than i can recall
but i'll make some new promises
when you see me next fall
 
i know that i wasn’t always the best
at showing you how much i cared
and when you needed me the most
i ran away scared
and when our heartbeats were mismatched in time
i said you should go out and find some other drummer
because time decays everything that we say
so i’m sorry that i left you that summer
 
well the world was ending
so we couldn’t play ball
but that was a poor excuse for leaving you
so i’ll come back to see you next fall
 
or you could come out here and visit me instead
i could show you around and everything
but everything is nothing
without the light you bring
and if you’re here long enough
the void begins to sting
and time betrays all the words that we say
i guess that’s why i didn’t see you in the spring
 
so i’ll give it my best
but i can’t give my all
‘cause i won’t have nothing
‘til the moment that i see you next fall
 
if i’m still not there
well, i promise i’ll call
with a promise to meet you
some other year, some other fall


and if i’m still not there
well, i’m sure that i’ll call
and maybe someday we’ll see each other again
some other year, some other fall
