 It's autumn in Amherst and I'm wondering why There's no leaves on the ground and not dark by five It's dull  on the East coast and that'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 into leather couches
 It's autumn in Amherst and I'm wondering why There's no leaves on the ground and not dark by five It's dull on the East coast and that'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 to snow In our town, we choose strings and keys over desks and essays
 Autumn will never change
 The suburbs inside us will never go away They won't go away
 It's autumn in Amherst and I'm wondering why There's no leaves on the ground and not dark by five It's dull on the East coast and that'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</code>
