[Intro | Bright Acoustic Guitar, Clean Electric Guitar Riff] [Live Drums Enter | Warm Bass] [Verse 1 | Male | Relaxed, Smiling] Opened up the door this morning, Had to go back for a coat. First real frost along the railing, Little cloud of breath and smoke. The grass was silver in the shadows, Sun was coming through the trees. I stood there with my coffee, Let that cold air get to me. Didn't have a thing to celebrate, Nothing special on my mind. But I took one breath of October And felt better than I had in quite some time. [Pre-Chorus | Building, Light Floor Toms] THERE'S SOMETHING IN THAT MORNING AIR, I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT IF I TRY. IT MAKES ME WANT TO GET OUT THERE AND SPEND THE WHOLE DAY OUTSIDE! [Chorus | Male | Big Warm Harmony, Driving Drums] GIVE ME A LITTLE COLD IN THE AIR! A LITTLE SUN UPON MY FACE! A BLUE SKY STRETCHING OVERHEAD, AND NO PARTICULAR PLACE TO BE! LET THE WIND COME OFF THE WATER! LET IT CUT RIGHT THROUGH MY COAT! THERE'S NOTHING LIKE AN AUTUMN DAY TO WAKE YOU UP DOWN TO YOUR BONES! A LITTLE COLD IN THE AIR! MAN, IT FEELS GOOD TO BE ALIVE! [Electric Guitar Fill] [Verse 2 | Male | Energetic, Conversational] There's a maple by the roadside Turning red against the blue. Leaves are rattling down the pavement Every time a truck goes through. Somebody's burning wood already. You can smell it down the street. I've got my hands shoved in my pockets And that cold beneath my feet. I could've stayed inside all morning, Found a hundred things to do. But there's only so much daylight, And I don't want to waste this view. [Chorus | Male | Fuller Band] GIVE ME A LITTLE COLD IN THE AIR! A LITTLE SUN UPON MY FACE! A BLUE SKY STRETCHING OVERHEAD, AND NO PARTICULAR PLACE TO BE! LET THE WIND COME OFF THE WATER! LET IT CUT RIGHT THROUGH MY COAT! THERE'S NOTHING LIKE AN AUTUMN DAY TO WAKE YOU UP DOWN TO YOUR BONES! A LITTLE COLD IN THE AIR! MAN, IT FEELS GOOD TO BE ALIVE! [Guitar Solo | Bright, Melodic Heartland Rock] [Acoustic Guitar Driving Underneath] [Bridge | Drums Pull Back, Acoustic Guitar and Bass] [Male | Warm, Reflective] I don't need a perfect summer. I don't need a tropical shore. Give me one clear day in October, And I'll be heading out the door. [Drums Build | Hammond Organ Swells] [Male | Stronger] LET THE TEMPERATURE KEEP FALLING! LET THE TREES TURN GOLD AND RED! I'VE GOT NO REASON TO BE SMILING, BUT I'M SMILING ANYWAY! [Final Chorus | Male | Joyful, Full Band] GIVE ME A LITTLE COLD IN THE AIR! A LITTLE SUN UPON MY FACE! A BLUE SKY STRETCHING OVERHEAD, AND NO PARTICULAR PLACE TO BE! LET THE WIND COME OFF THE WATER! LET IT CUT RIGHT THROUGH MY COAT! THERE'S NOTHING LIKE AN AUTUMN DAY TO WAKE YOU UP DOWN TO YOUR BONES! [Male | Soaring] I CAN FEEL IT IN MY LUNGS! I CAN FEEL IT IN MY SKIN! [Male | Full Harmony] SOMETHING ABOUT THAT OCTOBER AIR MAKES ME FEEL LIKE ME AGAIN! A LITTLE COLD IN THE AIR! MAN, IT FEELS GOOD TO BE ALIVE! [Outro | Acoustic Guitar, Clean Electric Riff] [Male | Relaxed] Think I'll stay out a little longer. [Final Drum Fill | Guitar Chord Rings] [End]
