(Hey, hey)
This time of year that I get older
It's too warm to dress like it's colder
'Cause I still cling to spring and
Pretty things, in hopes that I'll find something
Hope you see me in it too
The lack of sunlight, the colour blue
I've not gotten over summer, not over you
If the leaves won't change then neither will I
No time and space can make this alright
I won't bend, I'll break before I say goodbye
So I guess I won't move with the world
I'll walk backwards hoping it helps
Unlight matches, fill up my shelves
With newly old things I refuse to leave forgotten
Dye the grass green down to the roots
Cut my hair and colour my shoes
And pray to God there's still some way that you remember
Me after September
Hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh-ooh
Me after-
All my life
I try my best to look forward to new
Things, but I realize that's something I could never
With the brain that's wired to put out the fire
Even when the house is ash and smoke
The love of cigarettes don't help when you're dying to cope
I'll walk backwards hoping it helps
Unlight matches, fill up my shelves
With newly old things I refuse to leave forgotten
Dye the grass green down to the roots
Cut my hair and colour my shoes
And pray to God there's still some way that you remember
Me after September
Hoo-ooh-ooh (Septembre)
Hoo-ooh-ooh (remember)
Me after September
Hoo-ooh-ooh (Septembre)
Hoo-ooh-ooh (remember)
(September)
If the leaves won't change then neither will I
No time and space can make this alright
I'll walk backwards hoping it helps
Unlight matches, fill up my shelves
With newly old things I refuse to leave forgotten
Dye the grass green down to the roots
Cut my hair and colour my shoes
And pray to God there's still some way that you remember
Me after September
Hoo-ooh-ooh (September)
Hoo-ooh-ooh (remember)
Me after September
Hoo-ooh-ooh (September)
Hoo-ooh-ooh (remember)
