september

pull the curtains shut and go back to bed

can't kill the blinding light inside my head

almost wanted to kill myself

but I'd rather stay alive

numb the panic in our bones we go back to school

spent summer sinking to the bottom of swimming pool

you know I've got a thousand places on my mind

but I'd rather be with you

if you don't want to stay

then we can go

I've got two bus tickets and a burning faith

that we'll get out of here somehow

and if I let you down

just let me know

I can leave you alone

I can find my way home

I just hoped you'd stay around

pull the curtains shut and go back to bed

can't hear over the beating drum inside my head

I'm sorry for the phone calls

and backseat dreams

I just

hoped you'd come around

you wore a new shirt and your hair was clean

spent a night outside our heads

tried to sleep at ******* speed

I almost wanted to hold your hand but I

can't stop falling down

all those sleepy daydreams

all those late night cabarets

hold me till it's over

I don't want to go home

I don't want to grow up

I just want to stay awake with you
