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
