October

So you showed 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 seems so right
'Till 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
This evening I see
You're about to get into the ditch that your old man dug

Wrong just seems so right
'Till the spark of morning light
And all those searching eyes
Do they scald your tender mind?

(Ooh) see the stars align
(Ooh) and leave you behind
(Ooh) you want it so, and I
(Ooh) I come by light of an Autumn moon
(Ooh) sister, you know enough
(Ooh) but for now just let it go
(Ooh) don't run, don't rush
(Ooh) just flow

Through the give and take you had to learn
How to cross the coals and not get burned
But you're really just a little girl
(Playing in the park) 'till the sun goes down

So twenty-one 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 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
