Autumn & Me Lyrics - Girl Next Door - Saving Jane

We were 17 and on our own 

When we hit the gas for the great unknown 

I was named for a boy, she was named for the fall 

And nothing much else really mattered at all 

I knew what happened on her kitchen floor 

And she knew what it meant when I wrote on the door 

Secrets spilled into that dark 

And everyone was a piece of my heart 

It's a lullaby, it's a beautiful life 

And it sings me to sleep most every night 

So I hold it close and I hide it away 

That's how I keep it from going astray 

Love doesn't need a rhyme or a reason to be 

This is the story of autumn & me 

We grew up fast in a few short years 

And we littered the path with the tracks of our tears 

But we carved our names in the proverbial wall 

And nothing much else really matters at all 

We've earned every line in our 25 years 

We cried over boys and we laughed over beers 

I wouldn't trade the girl for a song 

She lets me know right where I belong 

It's a lullaby, it's a beautiful life 

And it sings me to sleep most every night 

So I hold it close and I hide it away 

That's how I keep it from going astray 

Love doesn't need a rhyme or a reason to be 

This is the story of autumn & me 

Rooftop dancing in the summer heat 

New car crash on a one way street 

Strangers moving up to the fourth floor 

Strange now nobody knows me more 

It's a lullaby, it's a beautiful life 

And it sings me to sleep most every night 

So I hold it close and I hide it away 

That's how I keep it from going astray 

It's a lullaby, it's a beautiful life 

And it sings me to sleep most every night 

So I hold it close and I hide it away 

That's how I keep it from going astray 

Love doesn't need a rhyme or a reason to be 

This is the story of autumn & me 

I was named for a boy, she was named for the fall 

And nothing much else really matters at all
