October

So you showed me around your town

To hell again and back

I love the certain way

You made all the friends you depend on

I know it might seem odd

'Cause you're not the only one

I remember myself as a lonely child

So I was, and you got me wrong

You got me wrong

Wrong just seems so right

'Til the spark of morning light

And all those searching eyes

Do they scald your tender mind?

Remember what they say

There's no shortcut to a dream

It's all blood and sweat

And life is what you manage in between

But what you don't know

Is you're too young and eager to love

Seething, I see you're about to get into the ditch

That you opened up

Wrong just seems so right

'Til the spark of morning light

And all those searching eyes

Do they scald your tender mind?

See the stars align

And leave you behind

You want it so, and I

I come the light of an autumn moon

Sister, you know enough

But for now just let it go

Don't run, don't rush

Just flow

Through the give and take, you've had to learn

How to cross the coals and not get burned

But you're really just a little girl

Playing in the park 'til the sun goes down

So cool you wouldn't rise

One did, it's our desire

No doubt you think you braided your own hair

So you're all grown up

Should you want to cross the line

Which way do you want to fly?

Pretend that love could help you find your way

But you got me wrong

Yeah you got me wrong
