Open up the windows wide
Let some air inside
Summer's over, look outside
It will soon be white
Put the coffee cups away
Clean the table stains
If they ask why I left
Just tell them I am starting with a clean slate
If they ask why I left
Just tell them I have gone away looking for fresh air
Maybe one cold morning breeze
Will take your scent away
I won't feel you in the house
Just old memories
I don't remember your Channel
Open the curtains now
Stop the blinking clock
Before the snow
Love can still grow
The leaves are brown and soon will be white
If the weather changes so can I
If they ask why I left
Just tell them I am starting with a clean slate
If they ask why I left
Just tell them I have gone away looking for
Fresh air
If they ask why you left
I'll just say you went away to your happy place
If the ask why you left
I'll just say you went away to a warmer state
If they ask why we left
I'll just say that we have gone chasing for the
Sun
But if they ask why I left
Tell them I'm outside breathing in fresh air
