Broken Bells - October lyrics
[Broken Bells - October lyrics]
So you showed 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
But 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
Wrong just seemed so right
'Til the spike 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
Wrong just seemed so right
'Til the spike of morning light
And all those searching eyes
Do they scald your tender hide?
See the stars align (O oh)
And leave you behind (O oh)
You want it so, and I (O oh)
I come by light of an Autumn moon (O oh)
Sister you know enough (O oh)
But for now just let it go (O oh)
Don't run, don't rush (O oh)
Just flow (O oh)
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 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
To hell again and back
Our love has served to alienate all
The friends you depend on
I know it might seem odd
But 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
Wrong just seemed so right
'Til the spike 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
Wrong just seemed so right
'Til the spike of morning light
And all those searching eyes
Do they scald your tender hide?
See the stars align (O oh)
And leave you behind (O oh)
You want it so, and I (O oh)
I come by light of an Autumn moon (O oh)
Sister you know enough (O oh)
But for now just let it go (O oh)
Don't run, don't rush (O oh)
Just flow (O oh)
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 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
