October

So you show me 'round your town To hell again and back Our love has served to alienate 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 seemed so right 'Til the spark of morning light And all those searching eyes Do they scald your tender hide? 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 This evening I see you're about to get into the ditch That your old man dug, ah-ah Wrong just seemed so right 'Til the spark of morning light And all those searching eyes Do they scald your tender hide? See the stars align And leave you behind You want it so, and I I come by 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 21 arrives One day and your time is up No doubt you think you braided your own hair So you're all grown up Should you wanna 'cross the line? Which way do you wanna fight? Pretend that love could help you find your way But you got me wrong Yeah, you got me wrong
