October Lyrics

[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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
