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 pools
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 cocaine 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 'til 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
