I saw the autumn leaves Peel up off the street Take wing on the balmy breeze And sweep you off your feet And you blushed as they scooped you up On sugar maple wings To gaze down on the city below Ablaze with wondrous things Downy feathers kiss your face And flutter everywhere Reality is a lovely place But I wouldn't wanna live there I wouldn't wanna live there Weighed down by heavy lids And lunar lullabies I knew you were wide awake 'Cause you smile with your eyes Downy feathers kiss your face And flutter everywhere Reality is a lovely place But I wouldn't wanna live there From the green belt balcony The wildfires look so pretty Ponderosa canopy I'd never leave if it were up to me To the ruby redwood tree And to the velvet climbing ivy Painted all mahogany I'd never leave if it were up to me If it were up to me With a starry brush Paint the dusk venetian blue 'Cause in the evening hush You'll never believe the view And when the leaves return And their whisperings fill the night They'll freeze and burn Where fire and ice collide Where fire and ice collide Can you feel a silk embrace In the satin air? If we dissolve without a trace Will the real world even care? Downy feathers kiss your face And flutter everywhere Reality is a lovely place But I wouldn't wanna live there I wouldn't wanna live there I saw the autumn leaves Peel up off the street Take wing on the balmy breeze And sweep you off your feet

You and me were always with each other Before we knew the other was ever there You and me, we belong together Just like a breath needs the air I told you if you called I would come runnin' Across the highs the lows and the in-between You and me, we've got two minds that think as one And our hearts march to the same beat They say everything, it happens for a reason You can be flawed enough but perfect for a person Someone who will be there for you when you fall apart Guiding your direction when you're riding through the dark Oh, that's you and me You and me, we're searching for the same light Desperate for a cure to this disease Well, some days are better than others But I fear no thing as long as you're with me They say everything, it happens for a reason You can be flawed enough but perfect for a person Someone who will be there for you when you fall apart Guiding your direction when you're riding through the dark And they say everything, it happens for a reason You can be flawed enough but perfect for a person Someone who will be there when you start to fall apart Guiding your direction when you're riding through the dark Oh, that's you and me Oh, that's you and me Oh, that's you and me That's you and me That's you and me
