Late August slapped me in the face And turned my cheeks all rosy red 'Cause it had different plans for me Then the ones I'd listed in my head It told me that I'd be alright But there was no way that I could believe it Late August rocked up to my door Packed a punch into my guts Knocked out all the wind from me And opened all my old wounds up It told me that I'd be alright But there was no way that I could believe it And now I'm finding my own route To being not who I am told to be Up the stairs and to the left I'm finding my own way again I'm finding my own way again Early October came to my rescue Filled me with false hopes and dreams I know it's wrong to sup with the devil But it felt so good to face my fears The fix was only temporary But it felt so nice while it was there Early October nudged my back Sent me packing on my way Just me, myself and I Running circles in my head It felt so strange to be alone 'Cause I didn't feel like me And now I'm finding my own route To being not who I am told to be Up the stairs and to the left I'm finding my own way again I'm finding my own way And now I'm taking my own route To being not who I am told to be Up the stairs and to the left I'm finding my own way again I'm finding my own way again Oh, again Oh, again
