Lyrics
[Verse 1]
First cold snap, sky turned clear
Leaves turned quick, you disappeared
One last look, then you drove away
Didn’t say much — that said everything
I stood there, hands in my coat
Tryin’ to hold on, knowin’ you won’t
[Chorus]
Red, yellow, and you
Like the leaves when the summer’s through
You changed fast, and I fell too
Didn’t even fight that cold wind blowin’
You were gone before I saw it comin’
Red, yellow, and you
[Verse 2]
Your jacket’s still hangin’ in my backseat
Smells like smoke and that fall creek
I drive past the spot where you said goodbye
Leaves were fallin’, so was I
Thought I’d bounce back like I used to do
But the cold rolled in and so did the truth
[Chorus]
Red, yellow, and you
Like the leaves when the summer’s through
You changed fast, and I fell too
Didn’t even fight that cold wind blowin’
You were gone before I saw it comin’
Red, yellow, and you
[Bridge]
Every fall brings it back again
Same cold wind, same where and when
[Chorus]
Red, yellow, and you
Like the leaves when the summer’s through
I’ve moved on, but I still miss you
Some things fade and some keep showin’
You still show up when the cold sets in, and
Some nights still feel
Like red, yellow, and you
