September

I watched you slip through my fingers

Falling out of time

You burnt this house to cinders

Like nothing here was mine

Now I’m left sifting through the ashes

Was it something about September I don’t know

‘Cause everything around me’s changing

I’m trying to let go

Was it a trick of the light or a change in the weather

Or maybe it’s something about September

I know you’re often tired

But darling so am I

But I still searched for hours

And you didn’t even try

Now I’m left searching for the answers

Was it something about September I don’t know

‘Cause everything around me’s changing

I’m trying to let go

Was it a trick of the light or a change in the weather

Or maybe it’s something about September

You set my heart on fire

That’s a warmth you never felt

Now the music’s all but left me

And I’m singing for myself

Now I’m here screaming at the shadows

Was it something about September I don’t know

‘Cause everything around me’s changing

I’m trying to let go

Was it a trick of the light or a change in the weather

Or maybe it’s something about September

Maybe it’s something about September

Maybe it’s something about September
