October

Yesterday I was caught up in a flash flood
Storm clouds running through my blood
And I've been thinking, thinking about not sinking
So hard to carry weight when you walk a weary [?]

Oh I could really use a steady shoulder
I find I need you more as I get older
When you're not here it's never colder
And I could really use a steady shoulder

Been trying to learn all these things that I just can't control
All these things still take a toll
And I been working, working on myself
My pride is something else I could just leave up on that shelf

Oh these things change as we get older
The fire burns and then it smolders
Pretty sure it's getting colder
And I could really use a steady shoulder

Well the rains been falling way to long
I can't wait for all this rain to be gone
And over till it's over
Been one hell of an October

If I can get this aching out my mouth
I'd run like hell to those breaking clouds
And take some time to breath
Maybe this year's all we need

Oh I could really use a steady shoulder
I find I need you more as I get older
It's easy to get loved when we are soldiers
And I could really use a steady shoulder
