lyrics

October fell so sweetly
Brought upon a light from you to me
All thoughts and fear, they melt away
Your head on my shoulder, I don’t feel astray
Tongue tied, but I’ll try, in East side, I don’t know why
I have to impress you and to you, I gotta prove
All the things I’m not, all the things you thought
Before you let me go, before you let me go.

I sought in hand the feel of your face
Not unlike your smile, there’s no mistake
Up upon the hill, you used to wait
To you I’m just a lark, a jester away
Numbers are falling, up away, I’ll run away
Under the surface, there’s more than I can say
I’m right before your eyes, right before your eyes
Only to watch you go, only to watch you go.

Sometimes the feelings creep back in my head
All the things I’ve said, and all the things unsaid
I lost a few of my closest friends
Just to be without you in the end
World wide collapse, city walls in fume
Still all I do, I do think of you
But my love is fraught, and useless in thought
Just emptiness to hold, just emptiness to hold

My love is one that weighed me down
Though I felt it all, it was placed with doubt
Years flow on by, all lost in stream
And my best days with you, all distant dreams

My love was one that weighed me down
Though I felt it all it was placed with doubt
Years fall apart all lost in stream
My best days with you, all distant dreams
