I've changed a lot of things
Since you left me in the fall
I really can't remember all you said in September
But October won't get out of my head
I really can't recall all you said at the ball
But I remember what you said in my bed
And when you look back, I hope you don't just get mad
I can see a giant beauty in the small things that we had
And I swear my aim was true even when i was unkind
See, I was lonely thinking of you since the spring had first arrived
I've changed a lot of things
Since you left me in the fall
I smoke more cigarettes and drink a lot more alcohol
I really can't remember all the songs I wrote in September
But October gave me one inside the rain
If every single song I wrote was solely about you
Then at least I'd know you'd listen when I sang
I've changed a lot of things
Since you left me in the fall
I smoke more cigarettes and drink a lot more alcohol
