about

Words & Music by Michael R. Jackson

lyrics

HE HAS DECIDED
HE NO LONGER LOVES ME
HE HASN’T SAID THE WORDS
BUT I CAN SEE IT IN HIS EYES
HE HAS DECIDED
THE LONGER HE HOLDS ME
THE ANGRIER I'LL BE
THE MORE TAKEN BY SURPRISE

SO I’M GONNA LAY BACK AND ENJOY
THESE LAST FEW DAYS OF AUGUST
UNTIL AUTUMN’S TRAGIC FLAW JUST
TURNS THOSE LEAFY GREENS BROWN
SO I’M GONNA LAY BACK AND ENJOY
THESE LAST FEW DAYS OF AUGUST
UNTIL ISAAC NEWTON’S LAW JUST
TEARS THOSE LEAFY GREENS DOWN

WE HAVE RESIDED
IN A VIRTUAL LIMBO
THE TV'S ALWAYS ON
HIS DINNER'S ALWAYS COLD
HE HAS DECIDED
TO STRAY WITH THE BIMBO
HIS CAR IS ALWAYS GONE
AND THIS GAME IS GETTING OLD

SO I’M GONNA LAY BACK AND ENJOY
THESE LAST FEW DAYS OF AUGUST
UNTIL AUTUMN’S TRAGIC FLAW JUST
TURNS THESE LEAFY GREENS BROWN
SO I’M GONNA LAY BACK AND ENJOY
THESE LAST FEW DAYS OF AUGUST
UNTIL ISAAC NEWTON’S LAW JUST
TEARS THESE LEAFY GREENS DOWN

IF ALL MY ILLUSIONS SHATTER
WILL I FINALLY BE STRONG?
WILL I DECIDE THAT I MATTER
OR LET MYSELF BE STRUNG ALONG?
WITH THE CHANGING OF THE SEASON
LOVE IS A STEEP DECLINE
GIVEN THAT, IT STANDS TO REASON
IF HIS HEART CAN CHANGE SO CAN MINE

I HAVE DECIDED
TO TAKE A VACATION
I WANNA SAY GOODBYE, I WANNA LEAVE A NOTE
BUT I HAVE DECIDED
AGAINST THE FRUSTRATION
I ALWAYS START TO CRY
I FEEL IT IN MY THROAT
THE MOMENT PASSES BY
AND THEN IT FEELS REMOTE

AND IN THE SKY A SETTING A SUN
THOUGH IN MY HEART I KNOW WE'RE DONE
IN MY MIND WE'RE FAST ASLEEP
BENEATH A WILLOW THAT DON'T WEEP

WHERE WE GET TO LAY BACK AND ENJOY
THESE LAST FEW DAYS OF AUGUST
UNTIL AUTUMN’S TRAGIC FLAW JUST
TURNS THESE LEAFY GREENS BROWN
THERE WE GET TO LAY BACK AND ENJOY
THESE LAST FEW DAYS OF AUGUST
UNTIL ISAAC NEWTON’S LAW JUST
TEARS THESE LEAFY GREENS DOWN
