October

[Verse 1]

So you showed me 'round your town

To hell again and back

Our love has served to alienate all the friends that you depend on

I know it might seem odd

Kid, 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

[Chorus]

Wrong just seems so right

'Til the spark of morning light

And all those searching eyes

Do they scald your tender hide?

[Verse 2]

Remember what they said

"There's no shortcut to a dream

It's all blood and sweat

And life is what you manage in between"

Oh, 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

[Chorus]

Wrong just seems so right

'Til the spark of morning light

And all those searching eyes

Do they scald your tender hide?

[Bridge]

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

(Ooh)

[Verse 3]

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

[Outro]

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 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
