Slid onto my leather seat
You leaned in, and you kissed my cheek
I knew right when that moment came
That the summer would start and end the same
Drove right down to our favorite spot
Where the headlights passed, we liked to watch
We stared at the sky and we didn't speak
'Till the moment came that you fell asleepWe could've had tonight
But we grew too close with white wine
Now you can't open your eyes
But you see colors in your eyelids
A mess of gold and violet
You hear the hum of welcome silence
With the singing notes of violins, violinsAutumn came, we grew so close
Finally learned how to let go
But the leaves that fell, they foreshadowed
The change that would come with the first snowWe could've had tonight
But there were words that crossed that thin red line
I saw it in your eyes
They were a mess of gold and violet
Not the same I fell in love with
There was something that felt different
And when I saw your tears it proved it
This was dead and we both knew it
Now you're married, and that's fine
But you will always cross my mind
Where we'd be this day in time
If I'd have never crossed that thin red line
