“October 25th” is the sixth track on Sadie Jean’s debut EP, Simple Like 17. Prior to the release, Sadie said about the song, via Instagram:
6 years of dramatic occurrences on consecutive October 25th’s [led] up to this song 😅. It means a lot to me and I can’t wait for you to listen so soon!!
[Verse 1]
This feels a little familiar
Back in the room I grew up
It won't make you stronger or kill ya
When you figure out what it was
It's not all about what you said
'Cause you're not the first one who left, oh, no
Mm-hmm
[Chorus]
I'll learn the same lesson over and over
The twenty-fifth day of October
It feels like I'm sixteen again (Mm-hmm, mm)
Leaves turn but people don't change, they get older
I'm openin' wounds for the closure
And I made the bed that I'm in
Yeah, I let me get hurt again (Mm-hmm, mm-hmm)
[Verse 2]
You're just the tail of an echo (—cho)
A mistake I already made
You and your paper thin ego
You cut me into a cliché
I know all about what you did
And I'm who I need to forgive, oh, no (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Oh-oh (Mm-hmm)
[Chorus]
I'll learn the same lesson over and over
The twenty-fifth day of October
It feels like I'm sixteen again (Mm-hmm, mm)
Leaves turn but people don't change, they get older
I'm openin' wounds for the closure
And I made the bed that I'm in
Yeah, I let me get hurt again (Mm-hmm, mm-hmm)
I let me get hurt again (Mm-hmm, mm-hmm)
And again, again, again
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro]
Leaves turn but people don't change, they get older
I'm openin' wounds for the closure
And I made the bed that I'm in
Yeah, I let me get hurt again
