September

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

Dark roast coffee, salt mist and sea
Sand and amber trees

'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

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

Dark roast coffee, salt mist and sea
Sand and amber trees

'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

Goodbye to summer

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

'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
