September

[Verse 1]
If spring is the season that wakes me alive
Then fall is the season to contemplate life, oh yeah
I don't know what is it exactly in this time of year
That makes the melancholy me reappear, oh yeah
Back and forth through

[Pre-Chorus]
Dark roast coffee, salt mist and sea
Sand and amber trees

[Chorus]
'Cause it still feels like summer, but it's soaked in nostalgia
Slowly, all the leaves start turnin' brown
'Cause it still feels like summer and I simply don't wanna
See the cool wind sneak back in our town
'Cause we lived when it was all bare feet
Tanned skin glistenin' beneath the heat
Evenin's swirlin' to a birdsong beat
God, it's now so very bittersweet
So I guess I'll just put on my favorite sweater
And say goodbye to summer

[Verse 2]
I keep on forgettin' time's learned how to fly
And before I know it, it passes me by, oh yeah
I don't know why when life is beautiful, I start to fear
It'll slip through my fingers and just disappear, oh yeah
Back and forth through

[Pre-Chorus]
Dark roast coffee, salt mist and sea
Sand and amber trees

[Chorus]
'Cause it still feels like summer, but it's soaked in nostalgia
Slowly, all the leaves start turnin' brown
'Cause it still feels like summer and I simply don't wanna
See the cool wind sneak back in our town
'Cause we lived when it was all bare feet
Tanned skin glistenin' beneath the heat
Evenin's swirlin' to a birdsong beat
God, it's now so very bittersweet
So I guess I'll just put on my favorite sweater
And say goodbye to summer

[Post-Chorus]
Goodbye to summer

[Bridge]
If life is an ocean wave
I'll stand on the shore and wait
Panoramic point of view
It paints a different kinda you
And nothin's permanent but change
Waves never crash in the same place
There's really not much you can do
But marvel at the residue

[Chorus]
'Cause it still feels like summer, but it's soaked in nostalgia
Slowly, all the leaves start turnin' brown
'Cause it still feels like summer and I simply don't wanna
See the cool wind sneak back in our town
But I guess I'll just put on my favorite sweater
And say goodbye to summer
