Story Behind The Song

I knew a girl named Autumn and i fell in love with her.

Song Description

The change of the trees and the crisp air of autumn sets the tone for this song. This song is a description of the longing that takes place when someone you love is running from you... not because the person is hurt, but because he or she is afraid of being in love.

Lyrics

Where you goin?
Whatcha doin on that plane?
You're not hiding
When you're flying
Don't you know
That the sky's no place to be
When you're in love
Cause we both know you'll fall for me
Like Autumn leaves

Runaway to a world that's bigger
Pack your bags but consider this
You've never felt this way
I'm not playing when I point my finger
To the heart in your chest
Cause I know just what your heart contains
And all the words you're trying not to say
So open up your heart and let it fall out

Where you goin?
Whatcha doin on that plane?
You're not hiding
When you're flying
Don't you know
That the sky's no place to be
When you're in love
Cause we both know you'll fall for me
Like Autumn leaves

I gotta say not a thing's gonna change
When you come back down
You'll feel the same a thousand miles away
Did you cry when you bought that ticket?
You've been trying so hard
To figure out this mystery
Like it's not all it's cracked up to be
So strap it up and hold on tight cause you're in love this time

Brightly colored shades of yellow, red, and brown
Falling from the trees onto the ground
I hear the sound of airplanes flying 'round
But I wish that you were falling down
I'd catch you before you hit the ground

Where you goin?
Whatcha doin on that plane?
You're not hiding when you fly

Where you goin?
Whatcha doin on that plane?
You're not hiding
When you're flying
Don't you know
That the sky's no place to be
When you're in love
Cause we both know you'll fall for me
Like Autumn leaves
