[Intro – soft rain sound, gentle fingerpicked acoustic guitar] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – quiet breathy vocals, warm guitar] I was leaning on the canteen wall Wet jacket hanging off my arms Every day felt grey that fall I didn't want to see anyone [Verse 2 – soft piano notes join] You walked over with two chocolate bars Said you saw me sitting alone Made a stupid joke about broken cars And suddenly the world felt home [Chorus – gentle harmonies, light brushed drums] Blonde hair falling over your shoulder Blue eyes that could outshine the sun You pulled the dark right off my days Before I even knew you'd won You didn't fix the broken things You just sat down and made me run [Verse 3 – guitar softens slightly] We walked home through the autumn leaves Talked until the streetlights glowed You lived right at the edge of town Three bus rides down the loneliest road [Verse 4 – quiet sombre tone] That last night on the station step We didn't yell we didn't cry Just held each other quiet and said Some good things weren't meant to try [Chorus – softer, more tender] Blonde hair blowing in the cold wind Blue eyes glistening but not wet We let it go before it broke No hard feelings no regret You were the kindest thing I knew The one I never can forget [Bridge – sparse guitar only, very quiet] I still pass that canteen wall sometimes Still buy that chocolate bar sometimes I don't know where you are right now I just hope you're still smiling fine [Solo – gentle acoustic guitar melody, soft reverb] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus – quiet, almost whispered, fading] Blonde hair falling over your shoulder Blue eyes that outshone the sun You didn't stay you didn't have to You already saved me once Some people come just for a while To teach you how to love someone [Outro – guitar fades very slowly] Thank you for that autumn Thank you for the sun
