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, and I--
I gotta throw my hands up
'Cause 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 have warmed December
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
And 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...
