Everything is about to wither

Lyrics: Fiona Huang Music: Fiona Huang Arranger: Fiona Huang The trees are turning brown again The air bites sharp and thin We were golden once Now paper thin Summer held us tight So warm so near But autumn whispers truths we fear Everything is about to wither Like leaves that shiver We burned bright But we won't deliver Love's a season Not forever Yeah, time drips slow like wax on skin The truth seeps in where the lies begin We were frame by frame in a silent reel Now it’ s all rewind, nothing left to feel Ash on the counter, glass half- filled Heart half- healed, but the noise is stilled You said love’ s a house, I lost the key Now the door swings wide to an empty sea Everything is about to wither Like leaves that shiver We burned bright But we won’ t deliver Love’ s a season Not forever The wind carries whispers They cut so deep Memories of us They won't let me sleep We bloomed in June Now we're a heap Your smile was the sun It lit my way But winter waits And hearts decay Your name still hums in the radio hum The night grows loud, my pulse grows numb Every spark we lit now sleeps in gray We were never built to stay Everything is about to wither Like leaves that shiver We burned bright But we won't deliver Love's a season Not forever The streetlights hum, the fog rolls in Our shadows blur where we have been The record spins, but the groove is thin It’ s fading slow, beneath my skin The clock hands drip like melted gold Your voice returns, but it sounds so cold We were a fire in a glass of rain Now just echoes, whispering your name Everything fades, that’ s the closing scene Time don’ t heal, it just wipes the screen Love was a spark in a world of gray Now it’ s smoke in the wind, drifting away Everything is about to wither... Like leaves that shiver... But maybe, just maybe That’ s how we remember Everything... Everything... Everything... That’ s how we remember
