Ruined November

am/fm dreams

as far as I can remember
you ruined November
was a weather system I suppose
you wanted the best of me
in a penitentiary
where there’s no forgiveness
I don’t know

if November’s light would stay up past 5
well then I wouldn’t mind

I’m not a pretender
you ruined November
just letting it all out I suppose
you wanted to mess with me
then give me some sympathy
when is it over
no one knows

if November’s light would stay up past 5
well then I wouldn’t mind

if you can find it in your soul
would you meet me in the middle?
all the things I’ll never know
you played me like a fiddle
do you think November knows that it cost me a little

I don’t want to forget her
and how she ruined November
think I learned my lesson I suppose
now there’s nothing left to me
when the sun is setting
counting down the days left till she goes
