That's how I keep it from going astray
And it sings me to sleep most every night
And it sings me to sleep most every night
Rooftop dancing in the summer heat
And it sings me to sleep most every night
We cried over boys and we laughed over beers
New car crash on a one way street
That's how I keep it from going astray
That's how I keep it from going astray
But we carved our names in the proverbial wall
We've earned every line in our 25 years
And she knew what it meant when I wrote on the door
And nothing much else really mattered at all
I was named for a boy, she was named for the fall
And we littered the path with the tracks of our tears
This is the story of autumn & me
This is the story of autumn & me
I was named for a boy, she was named for the fall
This is the story of autumn & me
So I hold it close and I hide it away
It's a lullaby, it's a beautiful life
She lets me know right where I belong
So I hold it close and I hide it away
And nothing much else really matters at all
It's a lullaby, it's a beautiful life
And everyone was a piece of my heart
Strange now nobody knows me more
It's a lullaby, it's a beautiful life
So I hold it close and I hide it away
We grew up fast in a few short years
Love doesn't need a rhyme or a reason to be
Love doesn't need a rhyme or a reason to be
Love doesn't need a rhyme or a reason to be
It's a lullaby, it's a beautiful life
Strangers moving up to the fourth floor
Secrets spilled into that dark
I knew what happened on her kitchen floor
That's how I keep it from going astray
And it sings me to sleep most every night
I wouldn't trade the girl for a song
So I hold it close and I hide it away
