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
