Verse 1

The days are growing colder, the nights and weekends too

I'm trading in my greens and reds for different shades of you

The stars are shinning bright now, falling down like autumn leaves

Painting pictures through their golden reds pictures of you and me

Your smile says you're happy but it's cheaper then our words

And your silence speaks so clearly but I swear I'll make this work

[Chorus]

On nights, like tonight

The wind speaks to us through trees

Singing lullabies by moonlight

Your smile rocking us to sleep

Verse 2

The tears grow far too common, in between our eyes

The photographs we pretend to be, laughter's found in lies

And the laughter we both share seems to be our common ground

I'm treading water in our conversations just to keep my words around

The music found in silence is keeping me awake

And like the ground in California your eyes still make me shake

[Chorus]

And on days, like today

The paper's our comfort as is our pen

As we bleed our hearts, tearing gossip apart

We make our own fate on papers' skin
