Blame It On September Lyrics

*Tuning is half-step down is optional.
I can still see you standing there
Summer tangled in your hair
First week of July
First day of my life
My voice shook when I said hello
And from that word we couldn't take it slow
I still can't believe
The way you looked at me
Now the nights turn colder
Your head's on my shoulder
We do our best to pretend
Waves get louder
I'm lost without her
This summer starts to end
Let's blame it on September
Cause it hurts to remember
We can fight to hold on
But August is gone
And even if the sun falls
I hope we don't lose it all
Cause no summer lasts forever
Let's blame it on September
We drew hearts there in the sand
Laughed when waves erased our plans
Though we never knew
That they told the truth
I can still hear our laughing friends
As we sneak off again and again
No we never cared
Too young to be scared
The nights turn colder
Your head's on my shoulder
As summer starts to end
Let's blame it on September
Cause it hurts to remember
We can fight to hold on
But August is gone
And even if the sun falls
I hope we don't lose it all
Cause no summer lasts forever
No
On the beach in the heat
You know I need that sweet ocean air
I'm gonna go where I know we can be alone
Wait for you, wait for you there
Blame it on September
We can try to hold on
But August is gone
Let's blame it on September
Cause it hurts to remember
We can fight to hold on
But August is gone
When the sun falls
I hope we don't lose it all
Cause no summer lasts forever
Let's blame it on September
Blame it on September
I can still see you standing there
Summer tangled in your hair
