First Of October

I hold my breath, I count the days
I know I'll see you when I'm older
I try to fill the empty space
As that faithful day grows closer

And when it comes around
I wake up and kiss the ground
I was lost and now I'm found
Woah

It's the first of October today
It's the first of October, how many songs can we make?
We gotta get to ten by the end of the day
It's the first of October
It's the first of October today

Autumn leaves, Chicago breathes
Out of mind, it's getting colder
You by my side is all I need
Wish it never would be over

Because when it comes around
We will make a joyful sound
Raise your voices, sing it loud
Woah

It's the first of October today
It's the first of October, how many songs can we make?
We gotta get to ten by the end of the day
It's the first of October
It's the first of October

It's the first of October
Didn't think we'd get here
It took a whole damn year
And now, it's not August
It's not February
It's not July
It's not even September
I think you know what it is

And when it comes around
I wake up and kiss the ground
I was lost and now I'm found
Woah

It's the first of October today
It's the first of October, how many songs can we make?
We gotta get to ten by the end of the day
It's the first of October (first of October, first of October)
It's the first of October (first of October, first of October)
It's the first of October
It's the first of October today
