It’s Autumn in Amherst
And I’m wondering why
There’s no leaves on the ground
And not dark by 5
It’s dull on the east coast
And it’s why we choose rock
And time sure flies
When you’re tossing clocks

In our town, we sit around
Watching movies and hanging out
In our town we’ve imprinted
Our bodies in leather couches

It’s Autumn in Amherst
And I’m wondering why
There’s no leaves on the ground
And not dark by 5
It’s dull on the east coast
And it’s why we choose rock
And time sure flies
When you’re tossing clocks

Don’t get me wrong

In our town, we watch the rain
Turn to leaves turning into snow
In our town, we choose string and keys
Over desks and essays
I know we’ll never change
The suburbs inside us will
Never go away, never go away

It’s Autumn in Amherst
And I’m wondering why
There’s no leaves on the ground
And not dark by 5
It’s dull on the east coast
And it’s why we choose rock
And time sure flies
When you’re tossing clocks

Don’t get me wrong
We have our fun
Don’t get me wrong
We have our fun

I know we’ll never change
The suburbs inside us will
Never go away, never go away
I know we’ll never change
The suburbs inside us will
Never go away, never go away
