Lyrics

[Verse 1]
September never stays this cold
Where I come from, and you know
I'm not one for complaining (For complaining)
But I love the way you'ds roll
Excuses off the tip of your tongue
As I slowly fall apart (Slowly, quietly, slowly fall apart)
It's falling apart
It's falling apart
It's falling apart
[Verse 2]
Except this won't mean a thing come tomorrow
And that's exactly how I'll make it seem
'Cause I'm still not sleeping
Thinking I've crawled home from worse than this
[Verse 3]
So please, please
I'm running out of sympathy
I never said I'd take this
Oh, I never said I'd take this lying down
[Verse 4]
She says
"Come on, come on, let's just get this over with"
She says
"Come on, come on, let's just get this over with"
I never said I'd take this lying down
I've crawled home from worse than this
From worse than this
[Verse 5]
You always come close but this never comes easy
I still know everything
You always come close but you never come easy
Still know everything
This always comes close but you never come easy
I still know everything
We always come so close
I still know everything
I still know everything, I still know
[Verse 6]
You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come close but you never come easy
You're coming in, you're coming close
[Verse 7]
I never said I'd take this lying down
Oh, I never said I'd take this lying down
But I've crawled home from worse than this
[Verse 8]
If it's not keeping you up nights
Then what's the point?
Then what's the point?
But what's the point?
Then what's the point?
[Verse 9]
I'm in your room
Is this turning you on?
Am I turning you on?
I'm in your room
Are you turned on?
I'm on the corner of your bed
I'm thinking maybe
Are you turned on?
Are you turned on?
