Don't speak unless you can improve   The silence of these summer nights   They've been calling us   It's progress to swear we will improve   I'm guessing that it's still the truth   It's still the truth      I've been waiting for the   Cold of December   It's hard to believe those days are gone   And it won't be long      Slow truths and lives that never change   Bring me back to this place, back to this place   Time takes it's toll on who we used to be (used to be)      Until we see the leaves that are falling   Looking out my window as I    Swear to make a change I'm seeing   Things through new eyes      And I'm scared   I'll never take the time to see   The things that life leaves incomplete   Through everything they'd have you believe
