Umphrey's McGee > Songs > Always October > Lyrics


    No one really knows, it's just another day
    How is it gonna feel is it all ok
    If this is how it goes I wanna get away
    Tomorrow's gonna be a good time for a change

    Cause poppa's gotta go and mama's gonna stay
    Maybe comin' back on Monday…

    Has anybody told you what it feels like
    Never really seeing things from the other side
    No one ever showed or ever explained
    The minutes move slow, I never had a say

    But now I gotta go, you I wanna stay
    I'll be comin' back on Monday
    I'll be comin' back on Monday

    Soft as the mood is

    It's always october, have you noticed that
    I couldn't hold you in a photograph
    Still I'm not sure where I'm supposed to be
    Feels like you kinda flipped the script on me

    No you're not alone, won't ever be replaced
    But this is how it goes, yeah you probably gotta wait
    Tomorrow's gonna come, don't watch it float away
    I really don't know what I should or shouldn't say

    Cause poppa's gonna go an mama's gonna stay
    He'll be comin back on Monday
    He'll be comin back on Monday…

    Soft as the mood is
    Often uprooted

    Lost my composure I don't want it back
    Slipped and I slurred into a taxi cab
    I know that's not who I'm supposed to be
    Feels like you kinda flipped the script on me
    Quick like october, have you noticed that
    But you don't fold into a photograph
    And I don't know what's just come over me

    Soft as the mood is
    Often intruded
    Caution, the view is
    Often / Off and uprooted
