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
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 d*** universe is laughing
And all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfo-o-old
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
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 d*** universe is laughing
And all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfo-o-old
