ice cold morning in october

it's been a long time
but i can't escape the story
won't you come back to me
come back to me now
it's my own sign
that i don't understand the ending
won't you come back to me
come back to me now

(chorus)
ice cold morning in october
woke up hungover
from the apple wine
neighbor bangin' on my door
to wake me up
i guess i didn't make the trip on time

it's been a long time
but i remember all the faces
won't you come back to me
come back to me now
i didn't say goodbye
and the need is still within me
won't you come back to me
come back to me now

(chorus)
ice cold morning in october
woke up hungover
from the apple wine
neighbor bangin' on my door
to wake me up
i guess i didn't make the trip on time

it's been a long time
but i can't escape the story
wont you come back to me
come back to me now
it's my own sign
that i don't understand the ending
won't you come back to me
come back to me now

where were you?

when i tried to say what i had to say
when the rain was fallin' down
where were you?
where were you?

when i was searching my heart for an answer
trying to hear what you would say
where were you?
where were you?

were you hiding
from the difficult words
hiding from the feelings
that were really yours
hiding your emotions
so i wouldn't see
what you really think
when you think of me
were you somewhere in the darkness
looking in
but left me without a word
well i'm emptier for what i haven't heard

when i was spilling my soul on the paper
when i was dark as a winter's night
where were you?
where were you ?

when i was seeking your mind for some comfort
trying hard to find your light
where were you?
where were you?

were you hiding
from the difficult words
hiding from the feelings
that were really yours
hiding your emotions
so i wouldn't see
what you really think
when you think of me
were you somewhere in the darkness
looking in
but left me without a word
well i'm emptier for what i haven't heard

the one you need

if there was any way that i could ever be
then i would be
the one you need
but that kind of thing is so hard to achieve
for me to be
the one you need

(chorus)
time goes by so fast
this life ain't built to last
just 'cause we wanted to believe
i'd like to turn back time
and bring you back to mine
but i can't take you to it
so i guess it's wrong to do it

if there any way that i could ever be
then i would be
the one you need
but that kind of love is love that we won't see
'cause i can't be
the one you need

(chorus)
time goes by so fast
this life ain't built to last
just 'cause we wanted to believe
i'd like to turn back time
and bring you back to mine
but i can't take you to it
so i won't put you through it

(repeat first verse and end)
