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

Was it everything we love we can't explain

Like if the world should disappear

Only music will remain

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

[2x]

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 silent moon, a kick of pink and gold

And the whole damn universe is laughing

And all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfo-o-old
