“ | I felt like […] the last few months of […] making all these friends was a really healing [and beautiful] experience for me […] and I really just felt like I needed that. And so, I wanted to make a song to encapsulate that feeling that you know is gonna go away eventually. | ” |

Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
5 AM, the moon went to sleep
Your friend speakin' in tongues in the back seat
Just one little glance, I know what you mean somehow
We're stealin' moments, moments away
Why are we just not as good in the day?
Is it too soon to know if it's too soon to say for now?
[Pre-Chorus]
The bubble we're livin' in
Settin' me free again
I don't know what it is about this
[Chorus]
I'm gonna miss it when it's over, yeah, yeah
I hope we never see October, yeah, yeah
I felt the weight fall off my shoulders, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna miss this when it's
I'm gonna miss you when it's done
[Verse 2]
Can't feel my hands, you laugh like you do
It happened like that accordin' to you
It's only a month, but doesn't feel new somehow
Yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Bubble we're livin' in
Settin' me free again
I don't know what it is about this
[Chorus]
I'm gonna miss it when it's over, yeah, yeah
I hope we never see October, yeah, yeah
I felt the weight fall off my shoulders, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna miss this when it's
I'm gonna miss
I'm gonna miss it when it's over, yeah, yeah
I hope we never see October, yeah, yeah
I felt the weight fall off my shoulders, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna miss this when it's
I'm gonna miss you when it's done
[Bridge]
Paint a picture in my brain, encapsulate the fleetin' feelin'
It ricochets, replace my pain 'til every trace is leavin'
The nerve of autumn time, days flyin' by, every sunrise healin' me
And we're okay, we'll live this way 'til it's done
[Chorus]
I'm gonna miss this when it's over
I hope we never see October
I felt the weight fall off my shoulders, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna miss this when it's
I'm gonna miss
I'm gonna miss this when it's over, yeah, yeah
I hope we never see October, yeah, yeah
I felt the weight fall off my shoulders, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna miss this when it's
I'm gonna miss you when it's done
