Lyrics:
I'm your autumn graveyard crush
I made you surrender, end of September
Stay with me, what's the rush? 'cause
I'm your autumn graveyard crush

This blanket of leaves that I'm under
Makes my blank mind wonder
What the fuck happened to summer?
And when did I wake from my slumber?

Don't have wings, don't have horns
Just a forlorn female form
Yawning in the cemetery
(Penelope?) Yes, that's me

You saw me, didn't know you adored me
Like an orange leaf you were falling
In love, I'm a glove that just fits
Snugly on your fingertips

Feel my pulse, it's pumping again
My heart's set on someone again
Keep calm but it's hard to pretend now

I'm your autumn graveyard girl
Sleep-over every night of October
Dance with me, forget the world 'cause
I'm your autumn graveyard girl

You can count on me
You can come on me
You can make fun of me
You have the full run of me
But only for a month or three ('cause I)
Don't know where I'll be during winter's eclipse
You'll be staring at the drips
On the window, reminisce
About how I used to grip you
How I used to slip in and out
Of the same outfit while we kissed
Let the skirt go, let it go, let it go,
Oh no, oh no

I'm your autumn graveyard ex
The coldest November you ever remember
Heartsick, lonely and depressed, 'cause
I'm your autumn graveyard ex

Swimming in your cold stream of consciousness
Like water, evaporate and fall anew
As a drop of morning dew
One morning I might fall on you
And strike you with my memory
In a moment of serenity
(Penelope?) Yes, that's me

Tombstones come one after another
Underneath each a bed for dead lovers
"My heart's autumnal, not eternal"
Is what I wrote in my journal
Stalk the graveyard paths as I flit through the past
Memento mori 'cause nothing ever lasts
