Story Behind The Song
We used to have another drummer in our band named Tim. His birthday is in October and one year he asked me to write a new song for the band for his birthday. The lyrics have nothing to do with him, but the title was his birthday present.

Lyrics
Gray skies fall on me tonight
?Do you ever think that they might come
down??
?Do you think about it when you see I can?t
stop shaking? ?I need you.?
Or is it the echo of all you believe in and I
think, I think I might make it through.
Chorus
But For October,
Hides out
We?re walking backwards, backwards and
may find out why we?re here.
Can you see me?
Am I coming in clear?
Am I just a phantom of your consciousness
that drives you to think that you might just
disappear?
Am I screaming? ?I hope I?m not
I?m just scared now
That you really might see me or I think, yeah I
think I don?t really know who I am.
Chorus
Am I dreaming? ?Or did you just wake up?
Or are you a Dancer? ?When I close my
eyes you?re spinning around my head.
Am I hoping? ?I hope I?m not.
I?m just afraid now.
That the difference between us all is really
me and I think, I think I don?t know why.
Chorus
But For October
Hides Out, she hides while we?re walking
backwards, backwards
?I know when!?
?I know why I?m here, I know why I?m here.? ?
I?m sorry?I?m sorry I forgot because I lost
you long before I could ever even imagine I
might only sing?If I don?t find my way back
home, please find your way back home.
