[Chorus]

What about the leaves?

What about the time of day?

What about love?

What we gonna throw away?

[Verse 1]

I caught it in my hand

I saw in the sand today

That part of me that can

The part of me that runs away

You wanted me to know

You really gotta leave this place

There's water in the boat

But half of me that hopes you'll stay

[Chorus]

Well what about the leaves?

What about the time of day?

And what about love?

What we gonna throw away?

[Verse 2]

That story in your head

Of water that you let run dry

The words you never said

Are forming in your head sometimes

And it's easy in the sun

It's easier to close your mind

You really want to run?

You really want to leave behind?

[Chorus]

Well what about the leaves?

What about the time of day?

And what about love?

What we gonna throw away?

[Chorus]

Well what about the leaves?

What about the time of day?

And what about love?

What we gonna throw away?

Well what about the leaves?

What about the time of day?

And what about love?

What we gonna throw away?

[Outro]

Well what about the leaves?

What about the time of day?

What about love?

What we gonna throw away?
