Colors of the Leaves

about

Love is irrational.

lyrics

I can make a cup a coffee
I can fix ya toast and eggs
but I can’t fix all that is broken
just mend the things that matter most to me

I can take you for a bike ride
I can teach you how to fish
But I can’t bring back summer early
Just be there while we wait for it

and I would build a rainbow
I would calm the seas
and I would pull the stars from the sky
and change the colors of the leaves

I can share the words of wisdom
that my father spoke to me
but I can’t make you wanna live em
just pass them on and set them free

I can kiss you on the forehead
I can say all the right things
but I can’t make you want to love me
just be the best I can, and hope ya do

and I would build a rainbow
I would calm the seas
and I would pull the stars from the sky
and change the colors of the leaves
