This Fall

This fall they all fall all around me
They're pairing up, preparing for the cold to come
They cling and dangle at each other's side
Not keen on letting air flow by
This fall they all fall all around me

Some were meant to fall deeply in love this year
I was meant to fall into the depths of this basement
Meant to fall ever so deep into an empty bed
Alone, all alone in my head

Some were meant to fall head over heals this year
I was destined to fall into the workshop to labour
Guess I wouldn't have time even if I had the chap
Yet my heart longs to long for someone

Those joyous folks, those happy people
Who can't help but stare straight into each other's eyes
They're taken, simply smitten
I fear they've lost their minds!
Who can blame them when I know I'd spare mine?
This fall they all fall all around me…

I refuse to be cold but would rather be alone
Than to have a body that warms my feet
But keeps my heart frozen
I'll pile on the blankets at the foot of my bed
And trust my zealous heart will one day conquer its desire
