Everclear - Fire Maple Song Lyrics

Turn away from the pain you don't want, 
Turning down to avoid them when they call, 
Strange words I heard a long long time ago 

I wish I could go back to the summer time, 
I knew more than twenty years ago, 
Lie underneath the maple tree, 

Now I can't smile 

Lying down in the grass with the wind around us, 
As we smile and talk, 
Listen to your Grandma, 
Sing those country songs, 

She'd tell us how the maple turns to fire every four years, 
We'd lay in the grass all summer, 
Just to watch the autumn come around, 

I can't smile 
I can't smile 

Now I live alone, 
And you're so far away, 
Yeah, I call you every year, 
Just around the holidays, 
I still see you in the night, 
Lying above me in the grass, 

I can't smile 

Turn away from the pain you don't want, 
Turning down to avoid them when they call, 
I can't believe this letter, 
That says you died, 

I think I'm gonna go back to the house, 
In North Carolina and lay in the backyard, 
Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me, 
Bury me.. 

I can't smile 
I can't smile 

I don't know what's happened to me 
I don't know what's happened to me 

I can't smile
