The autumn leaves they rush outside my window 
Like they've got something so important they must do 
Sara will be home now any minute 
She likes her third grade teacher and looks so much like you 
 
I struck a match to light the furnace in the hallway 
I could smell the summer dust burning in the vent 
It's just another thing that brings your memory back to me 
I think that Sara knows I'm troubled by that scent, she reads my mind 
 
I'm just fine 'til the end of September 
Then I remember losing you, October '89 
But if I live in the past, there's no future 
I'm looking forward to leaving October behind 
 
There's a girl I really like down at the office 
Me and Sara asked her out for New Year's Eve 
It made me cry when I told her all about us 
But Sara says there's nothing wrong with me, it just takes time 
 
But I'm just fine 'til the end of September 
Then I remember losing you, October '89 
But if I live in the past, there's no future 
I'm looking forward to leaving October behind 
 
'All things work for good', has become my favorite verse 
Sara told me that they would, but when the nights 
Get cold and the leaves turn rust and gold 
That's when your memory hurts 
 
I'm just fine 'til the end of September 
Then I remember losing you, October '89 
If I live in the past, there's no future 
I'm looking forward to leaving October behind 
Looking forward to leaving October behind
