About This Track

'Leaves' by Parcels is a 2025 alternative track from the album 'LOVED'. The lyrics keep circling everyday objects and passing moments, asking what to do with leaves, time of day and love before landing on a decision to leave a place. There is a touch of urgency in the imagery too, with a caught moment and “water in the boat” suggesting movement that cannot be undone. The song reads like a conversation with oneself, weighing what can be held and what must be thrown away.

"Leaves" is a track by Parcels, from the album LOVED, released 11th September 2025. The track is 3:41 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Parcels.

Lyrics

Leaves

What about the leaves?
What about the time of day?
What about love?
What we gonna throw away?

I caught it in my hand
I saw in the sand today
That part of me that can
The part of me that runs away
You wanted me to know
You really gotta leave this place
There's water in the boat
But half of me that hopes you'll stay

Well what about the leaves?
What about the time of day?
And what about love?
What we gonna throw away?

That story in your head
Of water that you let run dry
The words you never said
Are forming in your head sometimes
And it's easy in the sun
It's easier to close your mind
You really want to run?
You really want to leave behind?

Well what about the leaves?
What about the time of day?
And what about love?
What we gonna throw away?

Well what about the leaves?
What about the time of day?
And what about love?
What we gonna throw away?
Well what about the leaves?
What about the time of day?
And what about love?
What we gonna throw away?

Well what about the leaves?
What about the time of day?
What about love?
What we gonna throw away?

    They’ve tried on different versions of themselves across over a decade as a band, but the iteration of them on ‘LOVED’ feels like the truest yet.
