October Lyrics

by Broken Bells

So you showed me around your town
To hell again and back
Our love has served to alienate
All the friends you depend on

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e111433-broken_bells~october_lyrics.html ]
I know it might seem odd
Because 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 seems so right
Till the spark of morning light
And all those searching eyes
Do they scald your tender hide?

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

But what you don't know
Is you're too young and eager to love
Seething, I see
You're about to get into
The ditch that your old man dug... ahhh

Wrong just seems so right
Till 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 sew it up
I come by light of an autumn moon

Sister you know me not
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 until the sun goes down

Soit's our desire
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
