places on a map

I know it’s the wrong season for a song about fall, but i really like fall (well, the little bit we see here in the desert). I wrote and recorded a slower version of this with electric guitars, but it wasn’t very good, so I reworked the music last night, added a few words this morning, and here you are!

maybe next fall we’ll see the colors changing
like the season it’s meant to be
maybe we’ll wear our scarves and coats a little longer
walking underneath leaves falling from the trees
they’re falling down, in golds and reds and browns
they’re falling down

so we pick out places on a map and try to
make it happen
these cities, these towns seem so far away
it’s nice to feel at home, it’s better to know you’re there
i just want to be somewhere i know i want to stay

maybe this year we’ll find our home
someplace we’ve never seen
maybe we’ll wear our scarves and coats a little longer
walking underneath leaves falling from the trees
they’re falling down, in golds and reds and browns
they’re falling down
