...

he bats flies
he rakes leaves
what happened to the man that used to breathe.

did time take you away
did time take her away
you have no idea
you have no idea
what you used to be

they shout at you
so that you'd listen
they look down
but i say let him be

you used to take care of me
you used to pick me up from school
now you see a stranger in front of you
I see a stranger in front of me

you used to ride your bike everywhere
i'd always hear a cog spin and know it was you
your bike is gone now
so are you

i remember her decline
and now i'm watching yours

i watch you through the window
still raking the leaves
is that all there is now?
leaves before you leave.

are you picking them up because you know you're falling?
it's okay.
