[Verse 1]
Well, she slid down the hall in her socks and yelled, "Come outside"
No, no, no, nothing's wrong
I just happen to have a surprise
So we fell through the door like the autumn leaves
I wrestled my brother down to his knees
To watch as her rocket shot into the October sky

[Chorus]
There's a picture of us
In a layer of dust
On the mantle
Right by my cigarettes that I smoke since you left
'Cause you said you had to fly
In your October

[Verse 2]
Now I work in the city and I blend into the crowd
And the pеople grieve with mе since the towers came down
You could cut the pollution with a butter knife
You could wake up at two and then party all night
But I'm missin' my mama, so I stand on the street and get high

[Chorus]
There's a picture of us
Hidden in a layer of dust
On the mantle
Right by my cigarettes that I smoke since you left
'Cause you said you had to fly
In your October sky
La-la-la, la-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[Bridge]
And as I go back home to Memphis
I remember days that I
I was outside shootin' rockets
Almost as high, high
Standing there in your October, October (Whoa)
October, October

[Outro]
The secrets I tell is a change that i spare
To the ones that I love may life treat you well
'Cause I'm getting much older
In her October
And the same wind that blew those autumn leaves
Is the same wind that carries me
It covers me over
In her October (Whoa)
