Sunsets - Young American

Sunsets like an apple

It rises like a peach

Washes away my dreams

Like an undertow at the beach

Trees shed all their feathers

In the fall from a summer spent

Trying to fly away

Like gods breath in the wind

They fall all over you

Oh yeah

Like my fingers

They used to do

I don’t know if I can take this

I’m just a little scared

Taking off your clothes

In the backseat unprepared

You’re a cute mess if that

Lain on your back

November 23rd with my hand up your skirt

In the cold air don’t look back

They fall all over you

Oh yeah

Like my fingers

They used to do

And I

I’m leaving you inside tonight

I’m letting you go so you don’t know

That we were just so scared

Yeah we were just so scared

When you came down from New York

I found out you were hanging out with him

With him

But I swear to god that I’m growing up

I swear to god that I’m showing up

For you

For you

And I

I’m leaving you inside tonight

I’m letting you go so you don’t know

That we were just so scared

Yeah I’m scared

But I

I’m leaving you inside tonight

I’m letting you go so you don’t know

That we were just so scared

When you came down from New York

I found out you were hanging out with him

With him

I wise man once said

If you throw dirt

You’ll never get another shot at her skirt again

Again

And I

I’m leaving you inside tonight

I’m letting you go so you don’t know

That we were just so scared

Yeah we were just so scared
