Blame It On September

I can still see you standing there
Summer tangled in your hair
First week of July
First day of my life

My voice shook when I said hello
And from that word, I couldn't take it slow
I still can't believe
The way you looked at me

Now the nights turn colder
Your head's on my shoulder
We do our best to pretend
Waves get louder
I'm lost without her
As summer starts to end

Let's blame it on September
'Cause it hurts to remember
We can fight to hold on
But August is gone
And even if the sun falls
I hope we don't lose it all
'Cause no summer lasts forever
Just blame it on September

We drew hearts there in the sand
Laughed when waves erased our plans
No, we never knew
But they told the truth

I can still hear our laughing friends
As we sneak off again and again
No we never cared
Too young to be scared
The nights turn colder
Your head's on my shoulder
As summer starts to end

Let's blame it on September
'Cause it hurts to remember
We can fight to hold on
But August is gone
And even if the sun falls
I hope we don't lose it all
'Cause no summer lasts forever
No

On the beach
In the heat
You know I need that sweet ocean air
I'm gonna go
Where I know we can be alone
I'll wait for you
Wait for you there

Blame it on September
We can try to hold on
But August is gone

Blame it on September
'Cause it hurts to remember
We can fight to hold on
But August is gone
When the sun falls
I hope we don't lose it all
'Cause no summer lasts forever
Let's blame it on September
Blame it on September

I can still see you standing there
Summer tangled in your hair
