[Verse 1] Leaves in my hair, black stripes on my sleeves You said I look cute, I said, “Obviously” Pumpkin on my T-shirt, sugar on my tongue I wasn’t gonna like you, but here we are, that’s fun Carnival lights blinking orange and blue I came for the candy, got distracted by you Now you’re walking beside me, way too close to ignore And suddenly October means a little bit more [Pre-Chorus] I blame the weather I blame your sweater I blame whatever makes me want you better Maybe it’s nothing Maybe it’s fate Maybe I’m already five minutes too late [Chorus] It’s fairly October I’m falling all over You’re messing my head up again My hands getting colder Come pull me in closer I think I’m in trouble again It’s fairly October The summer is over But something is starting instead You laugh and I lose it There’s no way to prove it But maybe you’re stuck in my head [Verse 2] You won me a pumpkin, the ugly one too Crooked little smile, kinda reminds me of you We split cotton candy, you stole the last bite So I stole your hoodie and called it polite My eyeliner’s running, my hair’s getting wild We’re taking bad pictures and laughing like children You ask what I’m thinking, I say, “Nothing at all” While my stupid little heart does a backflip and falls [Pre-Chorus] I blame the weather I blame your sweater I swear I was perfectly normal in September Maybe it’s nothing Maybe it’s fate Maybe just kiss me before it gets late [Chorus] It’s fairly October I’m falling all over You’re messing my head up again My hands getting colder Come pull me in closer I think I’m in trouble again It’s fairly October The summer is over But something is starting instead You laugh and I lose it There’s no way to prove it But maybe you’re stuck in my head [Bridge] November can wait at the end of the street Tonight I’ve got leaves getting stuck to my feet A pocket of candy, your hand holding mine And absolutely no reasonable plan for tonight So turn up the music Let’s miss the last ride If autumn is temporary, stay for the night I don’t need forever Don’t promise me when Just make me fall stupidly over again [Final Chorus] It’s fairly October I’m falling all over You’re messing my head up again My hands getting colder Come pull me in closer I think I’m in trouble again It’s fairly October Come knock me right over I’m done even trying to pretend The leaves keep on falling And maybe I’m falling And maybe I like where I land [Outro] Fairly October A little bit colder A little bit closer to you Summer is finished My good sense went with it …so what else was I supposed to do?
