A day already gone
I'm letting go of you
The lawn is dressed in green
And the evenings are still bright
And I don't care if you're not here
'Cause you don't care if I'm not there
It's easy when it's understood
I know I've got no reason to complain
I'm taking care of things
I'm cutting down all trees
One fell and hit the spot
Where you had left your towel
You asked if I would come along
And I said you don't want me to
An agreement based on an assumption
Is what I've had to go by for so long
You cover the distance to get to me
Pretending that you
Cover the distance to get to me
And win me over
I'm counting down the days
The weeks, the months, the rest
It's colouring my dreams
And I wake up feeling old
I'm running out of substitutes
I'm bored with nature's same old route
And you insist, just wear me out
How green turns red and then yellow turns to brown
You cover the distance to get to me
Pretending that you
Cover the distance to get to me
And win me over
Cover the distance to get to me
Pretending that you
Cover the distance to get to me
And win me over
Pretending that you
Win me over
I'm pretending that you
Win me over
A day already gone
And I'm letting go of you (Pretending that you)
A day already gone
I'm letting go of you (You win me over)
