If Ever There's a Reason Lyrics
If ever there's a reason to be swept up in the season
Of the fallen leaves
And if the days grew shorter
And the darkness drew its order
From the autumn grey
I'd rather sit this out and sleep the day away instead
My weary eyes a bit too slow indeed
I'd rather sit this out and sleep the
Day away instead
To worry about the emptiness that comes
If ever there's a need to watch the afternoon just roll into
The evening sky
Find comfort in the finer things that keep you close that keep you safe
Within this room
When it comes down to me
And I grit my teeth
And I start to stall
When it comes down to me
If ever there's a reason to be swept up in the season
Of the fallen leaves
And if the days grew shorter
And the darkness drew its order
From the autumn grey
I'd rather sit this out and sleep the day away instead
My weary eyes a bit too slow indeed
I'd rather sit this out and sleep the day away instead
To worry about the emptiness that comes
To worry about the emptiness that comes
Of the fallen leaves
And if the days grew shorter
And the darkness drew its order
From the autumn grey
My weary eyes a bit too slow indeed
I'd rather sit this out and sleep the
Day away instead
To worry about the emptiness that comes
The evening sky
Find comfort in the finer things that keep you close that keep you safe
Within this room
And I grit my teeth
And I start to stall
When it comes down to me
Of the fallen leaves
And if the days grew shorter
And the darkness drew its order
From the autumn grey
My weary eyes a bit too slow indeed
I'd rather sit this out and sleep the day away instead
To worry about the emptiness that comes
To worry about the emptiness that comes

Having lost a child November of 2013 the lyrics make so much sense, especially since they are singing about Autumn. Autumn is the ending of all the seasons just as death is an ending. And yes I'd "rather sleep the day away" than deal with my cruel reality. "When it comes down to me and I grit my teeth and I start to stall" he's singing about the guilt associated with feeling pleasure. Well meaning friends try to get you to go out, be social again, but with losing a child one never knows when the tears will flow so we "stall", make excuses, avoid public places. I now grocery shop after 10 pm to avoid seeing anyone. The best descriptive line for me is "Find comfort in the finer things that keep you close that keep you safe Within this room". I used to be a very social person before, but now it is common for my car to sit in the driveway for days. It is so safe at home, no questions to answer, no "I'm doing well" lies to tell, just the choice to answer the phone or door or not, to just be able to cry or not without making others uncomfortable. Great song for the series "The Good Doctor" as Dr. Aaron Glassman deals with his daughter's death & the guilt he still feels.
