October throws herself before my feet And the sky goes powder blue Holding her breath for me I never thought myself a city shoe But it's made of gold today And it breaks my heart in two
'Cause I want to hold onto it But there's nothing to hold And the universe is laughing 'Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold
We were listening to this city hum and hush Lying perfect in the dark I felt you tremble 'neath my touch Why's it everything I love I can't explain? Like if the world Should disappear Only music will remain And I want to hold onto it But there's nothing to hold And the universe is laughing 'Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold
And I want to hold onto it But there's nothing to hold And the universe is laughing 'Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold And the galaxies The galaxies are howling The sun and moon Are tickled pink and gold The whole damn universe is laughing And all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold
