Verse 1   The days are growing colder, the nights and weekends too   I'm trading in my greens and reds for different shades of you   The stars are shinning bright now, falling down like autumn leaves   Painting pictures through their golden reds pictures of you and me   Your smile says you're happy but it's cheaper then our words   And your silence speaks so clearly but I swear I'll make this work         On nights, like tonight   The wind speaks to us through trees   Singing lullabies by moonlight   Your smile rocking us to sleep      Verse 2   The tears grow far too common, in between our eyes   The photographs we pretend to be, laughter's found in lies   And the laughter we both share seems to be our common ground   I'm treading water in our conversations just to keep my words around   The music found in silence is keeping me awake   And like the ground in California your eyes still make me shake      On nights, like tonight   The wind speaks to us through trees   Singing lullabies by moonlight   Your smile rocking us to sleep   And on days, like today   The paper's our comfort as is our pen   As we bleed our hearts, tearing gossip apart   We make our own fate on papers' skin      The days are growing colder, the nights and weekends too   I'm trading in my greens and reds for different shades of you
