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
