September

[Verse 1]

I was in a daydream, thinking of you, baby

Right when he spun my ground

Took a little time, a quarter of a wine

I'm askin' him to come around

[Refrain]

You were everything that I wanted

You were never quite so sure

You were everything I wanted

But now I want more

[Verse 2]

You were on ice, thinner by the night

When he looked at me the way he did

Some time in Big Red and top three head

We were lovin' like stupid kids

[Refrain]

You were everything I had

Until I had everything

You were everything I wanted

But now I want him

[Chorus]

But that September

Will stay just where it is

Gotta stop aimin' for "forever"

Gotta put an end to this

That September

I'd never known love like it

But we could never be together

And you could never love like this

[Verse 3]

It felt so soft when we started off

But the view from your window changed

By the riverside into drier eyes

You told me I'm the one to blame

[Pre-Chorus]

I know now that you were right

When you let me know that I have changed

I know now that it was wrong in the first place

[Chorus]

But that September

Will stay just where it is

Gotta stop aimin' for "forever"

Gotta put an end to this

That September

I'd never known love like it

But we could never be together

And you could never love like this

[Bridge]

On the walk back up to land

You'll find God in every man

And I swore I saw him standing at the bar

I don't think that I believe it anymore

[Chorus]

But that September

Will stay just where it is

Gotta stop aimin' for "forever"

Gotta put an end to this

That September

I'd never known love like it

But we could never be together

And you could never love like this
