looking at the road that rises up ahead
i thought i'd learned a thing or two
but this is where it's all made new
i gotta throw my hands up
i can't go on if i can't stop

look the leaves are dead
the moments gone there's no surrender
forever now unsaid
the words that might've warmed december
cos it's all inside your head
like fragments of a dream you remember
so never mind your clever mind never mind me

staring at the ceiling from my bed
i thought i'd earned a chance or few
thought i'd be paid in due
time isn't made for waiting
past isn't worth debating

look the leaves are dead...

feeling like a fool again
just need a new direction
a new beginning, a new beginning
i can't hold back and i can't hold on
it's all about gratification
see me running, see me running

look the leaves are dead...
