When October Settles In

[Verse 1]
I don't have to see the calendar
Don't need to know the date
Don't have to feel the season
Turn to yesterday

[Pre-Chorus]
September sings its song
That's how I know you're on your way

[Chorus]
Hey, October
You again
There's nothin' I can do but let you in
I think I'm over what had to end
Then leaves begin to fall
My friends don't even call
'Cause they know I'm lost in dreams that might have been
But that's just me when October settles in

[Verse 2]
Of all your many colors
One thing's always true
Some see red and gold
But I see blue

[Pre-Chorus]
Hurry up, November
Christmas won't make me remember like you do

[Chorus]
Hey, October
You again
There's nothin' I can do but let you in
I think I'm over what had to end
Then leaves begin to fall
My friends don't even call
'Cause they know I'm lost in dreams that might have been
But that's just me when October settles in

[Bridge]
You're an uninvited guest
But you know I can't help myself
I just open up the door, and then

[Chorus]
Hey, October
You again
There's nothin' I can do but let you in
I think I'm over what had to end
Then leaves begin to fall
My friends don't even call
'Cause they know I'm lost in dreams that might have been
But that's just me when October settles in

[Outro]
Oh, leave me be
When October settles in
