lyrics

How did we make it here
Summer sun slowly disappeared
When did it get so cold and so dark
Leaves are falling in the park

It's okay
Going grey
And someday
We'll all fade away

Walking alone facing the cold October air
I don't remember the way
And I've got nowhere to go
And no reason to stay

Look in the mirror there is no souvenir
We can't go back this is how we appear
