Story Behind the Song
The song stems from the autumn season; making myself believe that the relationship I was in could still be like it was when it started. I was trying to grasp for the autumn season when the girl and I were doing well, but it was gone. I wrote the melody in the shower (yes, I sing in the shower!), and then I finished it soon after.
Lyrics
My Make Believe Autumn
I think you heard me call me something that I never will remember
You said that I love you, and I said no, but I do too, whatever
I shook it off again when you said we're just good friends forever
I wrote this song for you that you won't even listen to, whatever
Chorus
She says, "Oh baby, time it flies but you never have a reason to say goodbye until it's gone. So you think of life and it hurts inside; anybody could see you inside my eyes until it's gone... life never blooms in season."
If I wrote this song for you, would you leave with me in winter weather?
'Cause we'd be pickin' up where we left off, listen to the music, make believe that we're together...
Chorus
Bridge
Won't you catch my leaves
Won't you catch my leaves
Turning colors for you in my make believe autumn
Won't you catch my leaves
Why won't you catch my leaves
'Cause they're falling for you in my make believe autumn...
and I say, "Oh baby time it flies, but you never have a reason to say goodbye until I'm gone. So you think of me, and it hurts inside; anybody could see me inside your eyes until I'm gone... life never blooms in season"
