lyrics

underneath an october sky, we lay on our backs counting satellites. and everything was so real then, the scent of your hair and the touch of your skin. we were up on your roof, outside of your room. we were so young, i was so confused. you said i could stay (i wanted to stay), but at three a.m. i slipped out and i walked home across town.

i couldn't see through the tears in my eyes. and i thought i couldn't breathe but it turned out to be just the way that you moved your hair. i couldn't see despite the moon in the sky. in the middle of somewhere at three a.m., i was eighteen and running scared.

when i think of you now, i think of that bridge and it's whitewashed railings where we first kissed. or the shower at night where you taught me to please you, and still i went looking for something to see through. of all the regrets i have yet to forget, it's my memories of you that just rage on unchecked. but you'll never know. no - you'll never know now, because i haven't seen you since the night that i left you.

i couldn't see through the tears in my eyes. and i thought i couldn't breathe but it turned out to be just the way that you moved your hair. i couldn't see despite the moon in the sky. in the middle of somewhere at three a.m., i was eighteen and running scared.

what would i say with all these years gone by, if i had to explain the state of my once younger mind? i guess that i was scared and quietly dying inside, and for what it's worth - i hope you found a love better than mine.

i couldn't see through the tears in my eyes. and i thought i couldn't breathe but it turned out to be just the way that you moved your hair. i couldn't see despite the moon in the sky. in the middle of somewhere at three a.m., i was eighteen and running scared.

underneath an october sky, we lay on our backs counting satellites.
