SEPTEMBER

1. SEPTEMBER

SEPTEMBER

(verse 1)

(m-a-r-i-y-a

Mariya's hit parade)

you were in your mustard-yellow shirt

chasing after you, I ripped my skirt

as I barely made it through the train door

I know you got a girl

but it makes my stomach curl

still I hid when you turned around

 

the city's been colored in by crayons

the street lights just turned on

and I couldn't hide the tear stains on my sweater

I know you're meeting with someone older

who can talk to you about work and the weather

(chorus)

September, another summer takes a dive

September, as autumn comes alive

a shadow's cast over my heart

as summer's sunlight departs

your hand will never ever be in mine

September, and as the month goes on

September, it's goodbye land we're upon

I know I shouldn't be here

but I don't want you to be there

so I hid when you turn around

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

I want to meet that lady

so I can ask her if maybe

she will give you back to me

but that's no good

my lips froze where I stood

because I'm timid and misunderstood

(chorus)

September, and my summer guy

September, turned into fall, oh why

the fact that we don't talk now

is proof you're over me how

can you be so cold?

September, and as the month goes on

September, it's goodbye land we're upon

the moon's the loneliest color in all the seasons

let me count all the reasons

you should forget her and be with me

(end chorus)

(bridge)

tomorrow, I'll give you back the dictionary

you lent to me

"love" is the only word I cut out

because without a doubt

this is goodbye, goodbye

(chorus)

September, and my summer guy

September, turned into fall, oh why

being the only one to have my feelings hurt

it stings to see you go out and flirt

where was the kindness of that man?

September, and as the month goes on

September, it's goodbye land we're upon

the tricolor peach clothes that were my favorite

it's too much of a risk to wear it

I'm afraid I'll just attract you once more to me

(end chorus)

(verse 3)

say goodbye in September

September lalalalalalalala
