Window to the World

October is my favorite color
 And you you're growing on me
 This is real life like the others
 I can see it but it's not real
 In the window to the world
 Mirrors moving all around her
 Tubes breaking up the girl
 There was no way but your light found her
 Good morning at the speed of sound!
 You want to be her lonely sun
 You want to be the only one
 Hey buddy she was beautiful
 Her glow moves on forever
 Floating past the stars
 Beyond where we ever will go
 You thought staying in that bottle would help your march near the edge
 Or living in her promises
 Said she'd follow you to the end
 But that's just what you wanted
 You know you always did
 No regrets and no surrender, no excuses, no pretend
 But home is not a place
 It's where you fill in the blanks
 It's not a hologram, it's not for you to break
 Hey buddy she was beautiful, she'll always be your first
 Right there how you remember
 Past where we ever will go
 And the lights have to be bright to see anything at all
 You gave, you were, you thought, you made
 They took, they bent, they threw away
 You didn't want it in your house
 Refused to use it yourself
 You lived, you dreamed, you built, you caved
 They took it all they got their way
 You didn't want it in your house
 Refused to use it yourself
 Why did you make it in the first place?
 Why did you make it?
 You weren't built for war like that
 I don't think you had a fight
 As if money and some cigarettes would take it all off your mind
 But that's just how it happens
 When you're not looking, then it's the end
 For all your perfect planning, the good intentions in your head
 Each one you make goes out
 You could have sold it all out
 Hey buddy she was beautiful
 She'll always be by your side
 Far out past the clouds, beyond where we ever will go
 She was the first you sent away
 Her light lives on electrically
 That made it all worthwhile
 Why did you make it in the first place?
 You took us all out to the moon
 You promised you would be there too
 And that made it all worthwhile
 Why did you make it in the first place?
 Why did you make it?
