I think this is finished
It’s a song I just finished. (Maybe) if you see something I missed point it out. Here it is
Before the Fall
August hanging on forever
Golden fields beneath the sun
We were young and reckless dreamers
Certain we were the lucky ones
Windows down on backroads
Chasing nowhere after dark
The whole world fit between us
And the beating of our hearts
Leaves were still a distant thought
Green was all the trees could see
We had no idea how fast
Seasons changed for you and me
Before the fall
Before the hurt
Before the lessons that we learned
Before the cracks ran through it all
Before the silence filled these walls
There was a boy
There was a girl
There was a dream bigger than the world
And if I close my eyes at all
I can still see us
Before the fall
September waiting on the horizon
Like a storm we couldn’t name
We were busy making memories
Never counting what might change
Now those roads feel smaller somehow
Though they stretch for miles and miles
Funny how a single season
Can outlive a thousand why’s
Back when hope was second nature
And faith came easily
Back before the colors faded
From our little piece of green
Before the fall
Before the hurt
Before the lessons that we learned
Before the cracks ran through it all
Before the silence built my walls
There was a boy
There was a girl
There was a dream bigger than the world
And if I close my eyes at all
I can still see us
Before the fall
The leaves turned gold then rust then amber
Just like everything must do
But I’d give anything to stand once more
In that summer next to you
Before the fall
Before goodbye
Before we watched forever die
There was a fire in our hearts
Bright enough to light the dark
And somewhere beyond these years
Beyond the tears and all the loss
A part of me still lives
Before the fall
