Alexandra King - 17th of October Lyrics

Backseat of a cab checking rear view mirror makeup
Won't be getting back til the time blue collars wake up
It's bitter and it's sweet saving frosting from the flames
But if i don't count the candles, do i have to act my age?
Would it be so hard to take it easy on me
Fighting with reality
I feel, lately that time's just ticking by
God, it's so cliche to cry
Reminded on this night
Oh I feel it getting closer
The thought makes me go sober
I love and hate the 17th of October
Painted on a smile
Everyone around me singing
Blank stare in my eyes
Blame it on what I've been drinking
They don't know that I'm thinking
Would it be so hard to take it easy on me
Fighting with reality
I feel, lately that time's just ticking by
God, it's so cliche to cry
Reminded on this night
Oh I feel it getting closer
The thought makes me go sober
I love and hate the 17th of October
Oooooo
All comes down to this
Only get one wish
And I wish it didn't have to feel like this
Would it be so hard to take it easy on me
Fighting with reality
I feel, lately that time's just ticking by
God, it's so cliche to cry
Reminded on this night
But I feel it getting closer
The thought makes me go sober
I love and hate the 17th of October
