October

[Intro: children's voice] One, two, three, four [Verse 1] See the sun kiss the night goodbye I'm in no shape to moderate I'm in love with the [?] sky It hides all my friendly mistakes Tonight I know I am dancing alone through the past Whose perfume is stinging my lungs? Better last [Pre-Chorus] Not on the phone, not on a passing plane It's hard to be on your own Lord, I know in [Chorus] October I can't win I'm sober and I can't win [Verse 2] Last night was just another one It's hard to differentiate I'm not crying, not awake yeah But who will listen anyway? [Pre-Chorus] I'm learning to crawl on my own to me Hearing you talking some distant dream Not on the wire, not on the edge of a night It's hard to admit it sometimes [Chorus] October I can't win October I can't win I'm sober and I can't win [Outro] October I can't win October I can't win Ripping ties the hands that give, with constant need to grow The girl now sings the song I wrote for you between the shells of art nouveau
