Lyrics October - 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
I know it might seem odd
′Cause 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
′Til the spark 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
Deceiving eyes
So you're about to get into the ditch that your old man dug

Wrong just seems so right
′Til 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 so and I
I come by light of an autumn moon
Sister, you know enough
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 'til the sun goes down

So 21 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 want to cross the line
Which way do you wanna fight?
Pretend that love could help your way
But you go me wrong
Yeah, you got me wrong
