Maple Leaves - Jens Lekman

It’s autumn in Gothenburg

I’m walking home to my suburb

Rain falls hard on the city

on every homeless kitty

Oh please god bring relief

even if it’s only brief

that she says the dreamer just make believe

but I thought she said maple leaves

So we talked for hours

and you cried into my sheets

you said you hated your body

that it was just a piece of meat, I disagreed

I think you’re beautiful

but it’s impossible

to make you understand

that if you don’t take my hand

I lose my mind completely

Madness will finally defeat me

She said it was all make-belief

but I thought you said maple leaves

and when she talked about the fall

I thought she talked about the season

I never understood at all

I thought she said maple leaves

and when she talked about about the fall

I thought she talked about Mark E. Smith

I never understood at all

I never understood at all

I never understood at all
