Mid October (Acoustic)

No one tells you all the empty days you'll see Or the backside of how it is to feel free How the road gives you the time to think, if you did it all again Who would you be? Through the eyes of stories I have yet to tell I can see myself just as well And I wish I was an ocean wave that never saw the shore Lord, I'd be something more So call me up, in Mid-October Before the leaves start coming down I've been gone, but I'm looking for you Asked your friends if you're still around Well I've been using my best years on borrowed time Wore my hands away building something that ain't mine And I think of how my daddy went, and did it on the run What is a man if not a son So call me up in mid-October See if I'm doing fine I'll be out south of somewhere Keeping you on my mind Cause I need some convincing That I'm living right Fine by me, I keep spinning, turn my days into nights And I can't stay, or sit still now Cause I'm running out of time All the times that I've told you I can't leave this love behind
