October 15th (Acoustic Version)

One two three four five six eleven days too late
To take back the words that framed the choice you made
Be afraid be a fool, be whatever fits this crooked side of you
The lesson's hard, but not new
You are what you are
You chose not to go too far
And now she's gone
She's gone
Five four three towards new ways to be
To be alive, but just on the side and remain calm for a while
So you can rinse it all out
You can do what you like
But try not too hard
Those days are never really over
They treat you like a good old friend
With memories hanging from your shoulders
With the lack of time you didn't spend
The pride you'd give away to hold her
Might be less than what you'd get for in return
If that's the case let's take a little longer
To feel the touch left by her freckled hands
Once or twice you tried to hide it like before
Yet waking up in vain was followed by the front door
Stay awake, break the rules, seek what folds this crooked of you
The lesson's hard, but not new
You are what you are
You choose to go too far
And now they're gone
You don't belong to anyone
Those days are never really over
They treat you like a good old friend
With memories hanging from your shoulders
With the lack of time you didn't spend
The pride you'd give away to hold her
Might be less than what you'd get for in return
If that's the case let's take a little longer
To feel the touch left by her freckled hands
