Window To The World - Listener

October is my favorite color\nAnd you you’re growing on me\nThis is real life like all the others\nI can see it but it’s not real\nIn the window to the world\nMirrors moving all around her\nTubes breaking up the girl\nThere was no way but your light found her\nGood morning at the speed of sound!\nYou want to be her lonely sun\nYou want to be the only one\nHey buddy she was beautiful\nHer glow moves on forever\nFloating past the stars\nBeyond where we ever will go\nYou thought staying in that bottle\nWould help your march near the edge\nOr living in her promises\nSaid she’d follow you to the end\nBut that’s just what you wanted\nYou know you always did\nNo regrets and no surrender\nNo excuses, no pretend\nBut home is not a place\nIt’s where you fill in the blanks\nIt’s not a hologram\nIt’s not for you to break\nHey buddy she was beautiful\nShe’ll always be your first\nRight there how you remember\nPast where we ever will go\nAnd the lights have to be bright to see anything at all\nYou gave, you were\nYou thought, you made\nThey took, they bent\nThey threw away\nYou didn’t want it in your house\nRefused to use it yourself\nYou lived, you dreamed\nYou built, you caved\nThey took it all\nThey got their way\nYou didn’t want it in your house\nRefused to use it yourself\nWhy did you make it in the first place?\nWhy did you make it?\nYou weren’t built for war like that\nI don’t think you had a fight\nAs if money and some cigarettes\nWould take it all off your mind\nBut that’s just how it happens\nWhen you’re not looking\nThen it’s the end\nFor all your perfect planning\nThe good intentions in your head\nEach one you make goes out\nYou could have sold it all out\nHey buddy she was beautiful\nShe’ll always be by your side\nFar out past the clouds\nBeyond where we ever will go\nShe was the first you sent away\nHer light lives on electrically\nThat made it all worthwhile\nWhy did you make it in the first place?\nYou took us all out to the moon\nYou promised you would be there too\nAnd that made it all worthwhile\nWhy did you make it in the first place?\nWhy did you make it?
