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
