That Time Again

Intro

There it is again

That time of year

Instrumental

Verse 1

Sun went down a little early

Purple lights across the lawn

Green ones hanging in the window

Somebody’s already got their costume on

I’m sitting in that black rocking chair

Watching cars go down the street

Got a little bit of that October air

Coming through the trees

And I hear somebody yelling

From a couple houses down

Refrain

It’s that time again

That time again

Look around

Look around

It’s that time again

That time again

Same old street

Different crowd

Instrumental

Verse 2

There’s a kid running up the driveway

His brother’s telling him to wait

Someone’s screaming at a plastic spider

Hanging off a garden gate

And I remember being out there

With my cousins and my friends

Trying to get to one more house

Before the porch lights went out again

We’d come home with all that candy

Spread it out across the floor

Then start talking about next Halloween

Like we hadn’t had enough

Instrumental

Bridge

Funny how it happens

I used to be the one

Running up those steps

Now I’m sitting here

Watching someone else

And they’re having

The time of their lives

Refrain

It’s that time again

That time again

Look around

Look around

It’s that time again

That time again

Same old street

Different crowd

Instrumental

Verse 3

So I get up from the rocking chair

Take a walk around the block

There’s a fog machine on someone’s porch

And a skeleton that talks

Kids are laughing at the corner

Someone’s yelling, “Trick or treat!”

I can hear the music playing

From a house across the street

And for a second I remember

What it felt like back then

Not because I want it back

Just glad I got to live it

Final Refrain

It’s that time again

That time again

Purple lights

October air

It’s that time again

That time again

I’m still here

Just somewhere else

Instrumental
