Fire Maple Song Lyrics - World Of Noise - Everclear

Turn away from the pain you don't want 

Turning down to avoid them when they call 

Strange words I heard a long-long time ago 

I wish I could go back to a summer time 

I knew more than twenty years ago 

Lay between the sheets, lie underneath the maple tree 

Now, I can't smile 

Lying down in the grass with the 

Wind around us as we smile and talk 

Listen to your grandma sing those country songs 

She'd tell us how the maple turns to fire every four years 

We'd lay in the grass all summer 

Just to watch the autumn come around 

I can't smile 

I can't smile 

Now I live alone 

And your so far away 

Yeah, I call you every year 

Just around the holidays 

I still see you in the night 

Lying above me in the grass 

I can't smile 

Now, turn away from the pain you don't want 

Turning down to avoid them when they call 

I can't believe this letter that said you died 

I think I'm gonna go back to the house in North Carolina 

And lay in the backyard 

Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me, bury me 

I can't smile 

I can't smile 

I don't know what's happening 

I don't know what's happening 

I can't smile
