October air whistles and kicks

Against every side of my skull

Chilling my heart again

I'm whisked away

To when life was easy

Autumn rests on my shoulders

Whispering memories in my ears

Of Charlie Brown and pumpkins

And hazy images of school

Where I'd paint and I'd wonder

It reminds me of being a child

When I didn't want anyone to kiss me

And I didn't have many friends

All that mattered was my time spent at home

I didn't worry about the future

I didn't have a past to miss

I cared more for the moon

And saw it more clearly than now

And now I seldom see a single star

Autumn is a melancholy lie

The idea that I was happier then

The idea that it only goes down from here

But as that one boy said in his poem

You're gonna be fine. You're gonna be fine.
