Lyrics for Maple Leaves (EP version)

It's autumn in Gothenburg I'm walking home to my suburb Rain falls hard on the city On every homeless kitty Oh please God bring relief Even if it's only brief She said that we were just make-believe But I thought she said maple leaves So we talked for hours And you cried into my sheets And you said you hated your body That it was just a piece of meat I disagree I think you're beautiful But it's impossible To make you understand That if you don't take my hand I'll lose my mind completely Madness will finally defeat me She said it was all make-believe But I thought you said maple leaves And when she talked about a fall I thought she talked about a season I never understood at all I thought she said maple leaves And when she talked about the fall I thought she talked about Mark E Smith I never understood at all I never understood at all I never understood at all
