Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was the last weekend of September
I stayed up all night long
Waiting for the fire ache in my heart to subside
It never happened
He was the most beautiful boy I'd ever seen
Most beautiful boy I'd ever met
My favorite books around the clock
Scars of my knee
I see him behind my lids in a bright grey shirt
I see him tripping, running, and falling, covered in dirt
I see a lot of these things lately I know
I know none of it is real
[Verse 2]
It's in the way that he moves
But I don't want to choose
[Verse 3]
Another day and I'll lose
But I don't want to choose
[Verse 4]
Face to the ground
Change the sound
Time in your mind
Make it right
[Verse 5]
It's in the way that he moves
But I don't want to choose
[Verse 6]
Another day and I'll lose
But I don't want to choose
[Verse 7]
Face to the ground
Change the sound
Time in your mind
Make it right
[Verse 8]
Baby, let me take you home
It's in the way that he moves (Baby, let me take you home)
I don't want to choose (Baby, let me take you home)
Baby, let me take you home
Another day and I'll lose (Baby, let me take you home)
But I don't want to choose (Baby, let me take you home)
