Lyrics
I was staring at the clock again, pretending I was sleeping in
And you were scrolling through those photos you had
Deciding on the ones worth keeping
We could hear the traffic picking up, but the suns not gonna show
There's some rusted plow on a beat up truck
And six inches of new snow
Well there's something I can't settle with around this time of year
And I'm always sort of feeling it... like November just leaves me here
So I won't be at your holiday party, I said I'll come
But when it's near
I'll fall back on the same excuse
November left me here
We're all moving through those paces
It's sort of hard though, none of us are clicking
But we don't have the time to sort it out
So we just let these bombs of ours keep ticking
I've sort of come to expect it. We build finales to our own shows
We make resolutions, for new beginnings
Unrealistic expectations I suppose
And there's something, that just sort of terrifies me
And I know it's an irrational fear
But I don't think I'm escaping it
When November leaves me here
So I won't be at the school play
And I know you got a big part this year
And I really thought I'd make it
Then November just left me here
November left me here
You know I keep dreaming of the differences
Between all I used to have, and all I've lost
I don't even realize I make decisions
Based on the misery that they might cost
But I've sort of come to respect it
New guidelines, that I wanna follow
So if I'm not bending backwards for you anymore
Or if this heart seems, a little hollow
Well it's just that something, it sort of satisfies
If I can at least make myself clear
And I'm not giving up, or even tired of trying
November... well it left me here
So if I don't make it out this weekend
Or if it doesn't work for us this year
Well I won't apologize, and I don't need you to sympathize
It's just November that left me here
November left me here
November left me here
