Lyrics

The leaves have lost hold of the branches as always

The leaves have fallen from the branches, a natural occurrence.

Which leaves us with gold and wine colored pathways

This seasonal change leaves us with beautiful, symbolic pathways in gold and wine colors.

In the same way I've

Continuation of the analogy, drawing a parallel to personal experiences.

The same way I've fallen for you

Expressing a personal falling, likely in love or emotional connection.


You opened your arms like a school door to summer days

A metaphorical opening of arms like a school door, welcoming and inviting.

And opened my heart to rumors of a higher place

Opening the heart to rumors or hints of a better, higher place or state of being.

And where was I

A reflection on the self and the speaker's position in this experience.

Baby I've fallen for you

Reiteration of the personal fall, expressing it as falling for someone.


Love is always on the go

Love is portrayed as dynamic and constantly moving, never stationary.

It never stays in one place

Highlighting the transient nature of love, which doesn't remain in one place.

Day by day it changes and it grows

Love changes and grows day by day, indicating its evolving nature.

But you'll always recognize its face

Despite the changes, there is a consistent and recognizable essence to love.


Day to day it changes and it grows

Reiteration of the dynamic nature of love, emphasizing its day-to-day changes and growth.

But you always recognize its face

Despite the constant changes, love maintains a recognizable identity.

The leaves have lost hold of the branches as always

Repetition of the natural occurrence of leaves falling, connecting it to personal experiences.

Which leaves us with gold and wine colored pathways

Reiteration of the imagery of symbolic pathways left by fallen leaves.


In the same way I've

Continuation of the personal experience, falling for someone in the same way as the natural process.

In the same way I've fallen for you

Reiteration of the personal falling, expressing it as falling for someone.

Like a star in the night

Introducing a simile, comparing the speaker's falling to a star in the night.

Baby I've fallen for you

Reiteration of the personal fall, expressing it as falling for someone.
