Met in October

Hour in the Sheets”

Verse 1

Met you back in October, twenty-twenty-three,

Cold wind blowin’, but you lit a fire in me.

We were young and reckless, talkin’ ’bout forever,

Didn’t know the storms that love can’t weather.

Chorus

Now it’s ashes in December, twenty-twenty-five,

I broke the best damn thing that kept me alive.

All for an hour in the sheets, a moment cheap,

Now I’m haunted by a promise I couldn’t keep.

Verse 2

We danced through the nights, sang out in the bars,

Dreamin’ on highways, wishin’ on stars.

But temptation came knockin’, and I let it in,

Turned my heaven to hell with one stupid sin.

Chorus

Now it’s ashes in December, twenty-twenty-five,

I broke the best damn thing that kept me alive.

All for an hour in the sheets, a moment cheap,

Now I’m haunted by a promise I couldn’t keep.

Bridge

If I could turn back time, I’d trade the drink, the smoke, the lies,

For another October night, seein’ forever in your eyes.

Chorus

But it’s ashes in December, twenty-twenty-five,

I buried our love and I ain’t survived.

All for an hour in the sheets, a moment cheap,

Now your ghost is the only thing I meet.

Outro

Met you back in October, twenty-twenty-three,

Now I’m just a stranger to the best of me.
