My Tears Only Dry In November

Its just a song
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intro
Mmmh… mmmh… yeah…

Mmmh… mmmh… yeah…

Verse 1

Mmmh…
November days are long and streets cold
I see the mist and fog and my bones turn cold, uh
Your perfume still hangs in the sleeve of my coat
Like a promise you whispered but then you broke, 
mmmh
I walk the same blocks where you used to wait

Pre-Chorus
Ah ah ah…
Seasons keep turning, I’m stuck on replay
Ten months of drowning in yesterday, 
mmmh…

Chorus 
My tears only dry in November, yeah
When the air gets thin and I remember, uh uh
I held you in my hand and said forever
You smiled, then boarded that plane and took the weather
Baby, November comes around and I wonder, 
mmmh
If you’re somewhere warm while I’m still under, 
ah ah ah

Verse 2
You left on a red-eye, lights of the runway, yeah
Still burn in the back of my brain some days, uh
I kissed someone new in June, tasted nothing
Faked every smile till the feeling went numb and
then nothing
mmmh
yeah yeah

Pre-Chorus 2
Ah ah… uh…
I tried rain, I tried new towns
Your ghost still sleeps in every sound, 
mmmh

Chorus 
My tears only dry in November, oh oh
When the clocks fall back and I surrender
I let the frost scrape you off of my skin
Till December drags me under her skin, 
yeah
Baby, November comes around and I wonder, 
mmmh mmmh
If thirty-thousand feet ever felt like bliss, 
ah ah ah

Bridge 
Uh uh… uh uh uh…
Tell me, do you still taste jet fuel
When you read that last text I sent to you? 
mmmh
Do you ever look down through the clouds
And feel anything? 
ah ah ah…

Final Chorus
My tears only dry in November
When the air gets thin and I remember
I held you in my hand and said forever
You smiled, then boarded that plane and took the weather
Baby, November rolls around and I wonder
Do they have warmer weather in Uganda?
While I’m freezing here still holding your number
Yeah… I bet the sun feels good on your skin 
mmmh mmmh 
ah ah ah

Outro
See you next year, maybe… mmmh
If the sky ever lets you… baby
uh uh… yeah…
