Autumn (I Wish I Was Better) - Sleep On It

I feel my soul come alive when I watch the leaves die

But I’m still turning gold from the glow that I saw in your eyes

Writing letters to a ghost of who you once were

I plagiarize every line, 'cause I can’t remember

Now I miss every friend I never found

Nicotine and a knack for let-downs

I’ve been trying to find the words to say

To get you back around

I never had a chance to get it right

(Noo-o-o)

But I never tried

I can’t find the words I wanna write

To tell you that I’ll be better next time

You felt your heart come alive when you watched our love die

(Whoa-oa, whoa-oa)

And now I’m left feeling cold in the void that you laid in my life

(Whoa-oa, whoa-oa)

Now I miss every friend I never found

Caffeine and a knack for let-downs

I’ve been trying to find the words to say

To keep you all around

(To keep you all around)

I never had a chance to get it right

(Noo-o-o)

But I never tried

I gotta find the words I wanna write

To tell you that I’ll be better next time

Come close, I’ll keep my distance

Can’t hurt people you don’t let in

I want to be something you still miss

Oh God, I wish that I was better than this
