about

Imagine meeting an amazing person you really connect with and then letting them slip through your fingers because of societal pressure and denial about your own identity. Kit doesn't have a lot of regrets, but this song describes one of them. Autumn deserved better.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Autumn had auburn hair
Honey and amber eyes
We met discussing poetry
Became fast friends online

[Verse 2]
We'd talk until the sun came up
Fell into flirting recklessly (Recklessly)
Then her three-word confession turned
Contentment to catastrophe (Catastrophe)

[Pre-Chorus]
That season was my favorite secret
We couldn't expose it for all to see it

[Chorus]
How would life be different
If I gave us a chance
If I acknowledged I longed
To return her brave advance
If I accepted all of me
All fears forgotten (Fears forgotten)
If I embraced the allure of
Astonishing Autumn (Astonishing Autumn)

[Verse 3]
Did Autumn cry? Hate my guts?
Analyze each word we said?
Write it off as some queerbait trick
Her messages all left unread

[Verse 4]
When the days start getting short
The air nutmeg and cinnamon (Ooooo)
I remember Autumn's auburn hair
And wonder how it could've been (Could’ve been)

[Pre-Chorus]
Had the world been kinder, had I been braver
And I still think over a decade later

[Chorus]
How would life be different
If I gave us a chance
If I acknowledged I longed
To turn friendship to romance
If I accepted all we could be
All fears forgotten
If I embraced the allure of
Astonishing Autumn (Astonishing Autumn)

[Verse 5]
Autumn had auburn hair
Honey and amber eyes
I wish I could find her now
I wish I could apologize
