Do You Ever Think of Me At All

There's a coolness in the air

It’s the coming on of fall

I'm sitting here thinking about you

Do you ever think of me at all

We’ve all got to move on

Can’t stay in one place or we’ll stall

I get it, I’m not complaining

I guess I wasn’t ready, that’s all

I see lots of craziness in this world

Sometimes I just feel so small

Holding you always felt safe

So few would catch my fall

If you were to see my tears

I’m sure I’d hear your soft drawl

“Get up, boy, why you sittin’ there

What’s the matter with y’all”

But getting up requires too much

Like runners hitting “the wall”

I guess it’s like starting over

Before I can walk, I’ve got to crawl

So give me another second 

Then the leaves’ll start to fall

And I’ll be on my way but wonder

Do you ever think of me at all
