lyrics
The raincoat's in the basement
The wash is on the line
But still we're running replays
Of all the days we've left behind
I guess we've come full circle
I guess that it was time
To see you leave without me
And take off on a different line
And now you cry, now you grin
Now you're out and now you're in
And now you're on your own
Hanging out the window in the autumn cold
Tell me does it have to be like this,
have we really got that old?
Hell, I thought we were on a roll
The light comes in the window
The cups steam on the floor
It's just like in the movies
But afterwards there's always more
I want to tell you secrets
I want for you to know
The things I thought about you
Before we had to pack and go
And now you cry, now you grin
Now you're out and now you're in
And now you're on your own
Hanging out the window in the autumn cold
Tell me does it have to be like this,
have we really got that old?
Hell, I thought we were on a roll
I don't know what I'm saying
Or whom I'm talking to
'Cause if you ever hear this
It's bound to be a different you.
So I've been writing postcards
And picking up new songs
I'll spare you all the details
Suffice to say I get along
And now you cry, now you grin
Now you're out and now you're in
And now you're on your own
Hanging out the window in the autumn cold
Tell me does it have to be like this,
have we really got that old?
Hell, I thought we were on a roll
The wash is on the line
But still we're running replays
Of all the days we've left behind
I guess we've come full circle
I guess that it was time
To see you leave without me
And take off on a different line
And now you cry, now you grin
Now you're out and now you're in
And now you're on your own
Hanging out the window in the autumn cold
Tell me does it have to be like this,
have we really got that old?
Hell, I thought we were on a roll
The light comes in the window
The cups steam on the floor
It's just like in the movies
But afterwards there's always more
I want to tell you secrets
I want for you to know
The things I thought about you
Before we had to pack and go
And now you cry, now you grin
Now you're out and now you're in
And now you're on your own
Hanging out the window in the autumn cold
Tell me does it have to be like this,
have we really got that old?
Hell, I thought we were on a roll
I don't know what I'm saying
Or whom I'm talking to
'Cause if you ever hear this
It's bound to be a different you.
So I've been writing postcards
And picking up new songs
I'll spare you all the details
Suffice to say I get along
And now you cry, now you grin
Now you're out and now you're in
And now you're on your own
Hanging out the window in the autumn cold
Tell me does it have to be like this,
have we really got that old?
Hell, I thought we were on a roll
