LYRICS
Whereād the October birds go?
I used to watch them from the window
When I had eyes to see
When I was more like me
Where did your rosy face go?
When did your cheeks get so hollow?
Just a reflection of me
Did I hurt you so badly?
I want to be good but the moment I see
That runaway bride on the train headed east
I want to be like her, I want to be free
She lifts her dress and runs into the street
But Iāve never seen a staircase without dreaming of falling
Iām the flinch in your cheek, Iām the shake in your hand
And Iāve laid here before and Iāll lay here again
I havenāt seen war but Iāve tasted the sand
Iāve died five hundred times with your flag in my hand
And Iāve never seen a river without dreaming of jumping
Call me lucky and spoiled, Iām selfish and awful
I wake and I want more, I go to sleep needing you
Over and over, I take what you give me
No man is an island, Iām the girl on your shoreline
Washed up and heaving, pathetically breathing
I cling to your sleeves and I stop you from leaving
October birds singing and wedding bells ringing
Tied to the altar, Iāll keep you forever
Donāt let me down easy, youāre in me too deeply

October birds: āIāve never seen the staircase without dreaming of fallingā Always you: ā...chasing stairways just to fall...ā I love how she uses motifs and patterns in her music, itās beautiful
