I watched you slip through my fingers Falling out of time You burnt this house to cinders Like nothing here was mine Now I'm left sifting through the ashes Was it something about September I don't know 'Cause everything around me's changing I'm trying to let go Was it a trick of the light or a change in the weather Or maybe it's something about September I know you're often tired But darling so am I But I still searched for hours And you didn't even try Now I'm left searching for the answers Was it something about September I don't know 'Cause everything around me's changing I'm trying to let go Was it a trick of the light or a change in the weather Or maybe it's something about September You set my heart on fire That's a warmth you never felt Now the music's all but left me And I'm singing for myself Now I'm here screaming at the shadows Was it something about September I don't know 'Cause everything around me's changing I'm trying to let go Was it a trick of the light or a change in the weather Or maybe it's something about September Maybe it's something about September Maybe it's something about September
