(Warm, slightly dusty lo-fi acoustic guitar riff)

(Soft bedroom pop drums kick in)

Smoking on the porch in your oversized sweater

You looked at me and said the weather's getting better

But it was freezing cold, the wind was biting sharp

You laughed and put your cold, small hands inside my heart

And I just froze right there, completely out of breath

Looking at the golden leaves that dance themselves to death.

(Acoustic guitar gets louder, light bass guitar enters)

You have this way of making everything feel new

And honestly, I think I'm losing it over you.

(Full instrumentation kicks in, fuzzy indie rock guitars)

And oh, we got lost under the dark November sky

You held my hand so tight, I didn't even wonder why

The world was getting colder, but we didn't care at all

'Cause you're the only reason why I ever loved the fall

Yeah, you're my favorite reason why I loved the fall.

(Guitars drop down to a gentle strumming)

We walked down to the coffee shop and sat beside the glass

Watching all the heavy clouds and strangers hurry past

You drew a little smiley face upon the window steam

And suddenly my messy life felt like a perfect dream

I'm terrified of how much I can love your messy hair

But as long as you are leaning close, I swear I just don't care.

(Building up the rhythm with drum fills)

You have this way of making everything feel new

And honestly, I think I'm losing it over you.

(Explosive, warm indie-rock wall of sound)

And oh, we got lost under the dark November sky

You held my hand so tight, I didn't even wonder why

The world was getting colder, but we didn't care at all

'Cause you're the only reason why I ever loved the fall

Yeah, you're my favorite reason why I loved the fall.

(Only fuzzy electric guitar and vocals, very intimate)

November's gray, but you are bright

You turn the darkness into morning light.

November's cold, but you're so warm

My quiet harbor in the middle of the storm.

(Maximum energy, distorted guitars, emotional and loud delivery)

And oh, we got lost under the dark November sky

You held my hand so tight, I didn't even wonder why

The world was getting colder, but we didn't care at all

'Cause you're the only reason why I ever loved the fall!

(Drums slow down, returning to the lonely lo-fi acoustic guitar)

My favorite reason...

Under the November sky.

Just you and I.

(Guitar riff fades away into a soft sigh)
