It's autumn in Amherst and I'm wondering why   There's no leaves on the ground and not dark by five   It's dull on the East coast and that's why we choose rock and   Time sure flies when you're tossing clocks      In our town, we sit around   Watching movies and hanging out   In our town, we've imprinted our bodies into leather couches      It's autumn in Amherst and I'm wondering why   There's no leaves on the ground and not dark by five   It's dull on the East coast and that's why we choose rock and   Time sure flies when you're tossing clocks      Don't get me wrong      In our town, we watch the rain turn to leaves turning to snow   In our town, we choose strings and keys over desks and essays      Autumn will never change   The suburbs inside us will never go away   They won't go away      It's autumn in Amherst and I'm wondering why   There's no leaves on the ground and not dark by five   It's dull on the East coast and that's why we choose rock and   Time sure flies when you're tossing clocks      Don't get me wrong   We have our fun   Don't get me wrong   We have our fun
