A perfect October night by the riverside;
Sitting on the bench I thought until I almost cried.
The closest of my friends all gathered there that night.
A light goes off above my head. How ironic is this sight.

The caffeine's set in and the stars have all gone dim.
I know if I cry, it will be from all this joy.

The headache's back again. I feel empty inside.
Sitting in my room I stare and review my life.
The deepest of my thoughts raced through my head that night.
A smile spreads across my face; beautiful is this life.

The caffeine's set in and the stars have all gone dim.
I know if I cry, it will be from all this joy.

This life means so much to me,
As the cars race behind.
This life means so much to me,
Underneath the starry sky.

A perfect October night by the riverside;
Sitting on the bench I thought until I almost cried.

The caffeine's set in and the stars have all gone dim.
I know if I cry, it will be from all this joy.
