September

I’M GLAD YOU’RE HERE.

LET’S WORK THIS THROUGH.

LAST NIGHT FELT LIKE OUR LAST GOODBYE.

BUT WE’RE NOT DONE,

NOT ME AND YOU;

I MADE A LIST OF REASONS WHY.

YOU LAUGH WHEN I LAUGH, THOUGH YOU DON’T MAKE THE BED; YOU LIKE TO READ THE BOOKS THAT I’VE ALREADY READ.

WE’LL BUILD ON WHAT’S GOOD IN THIS THING THAT WE’VE MADE, AND ONCE WE’VE DONE THAT

THIS PAIN WILL START TO FADE.

IF WE MAKE IT TO SEPTEMBER

I FEEL GOOD ABOUT NEXT YEAR.

IF WE MAKE IT TO SEPTEMBER

THIS WILL ALL JUST DISAPPEAR.

IF WE MAKE IT TO SEPTEMBER

WE’LL STOP LOOKING BACK

AT THE THINGS WE LACK,

HOW WE GOT OFF-TRACK

AND WE’LL SAY, “YES--

IT’S FINALLY SEPTEMBER

AND YOU AND I ARE HERE.”

THINGS FALL APART,

THEN THEY IMPROVE;

YOU THINK THEY WON’T BUT THEN THEY DO.

WHAT WOULDN’T BUDGE

SOON STARTS TO MOVE;

WHAT FELT SO OLD BECOMES BRAND NEW.

WE’LL GET THROUGH THE SPRING AND WE’LL LOOK TO THE FALL, AND PRETTY SOON FORGET THAT THIS HAPPENED AT ALL.

I SWEAR ONCE WE DO THIS WILL ALL GO AWAY.

IT'S NOT LONG TO WAIT

'TIL WE CAN TURN AND SAY.

HEY, WE MADE IT TO SEPTEMBER

HOW WE GOT HERE, I DON'T KNOW.

BUT WE MADE IT TO SEPTEMBER,

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE SOME SNOW.

SEE, WE MADE IT TO SEPTEMBER

THOUGH WE HAD SOME DOUBT

IT WOULD ALL WORK OUT,

THAT'S WHAT LIFE'S ABOUT

IT ALL TAKES TIME

KEEP REACHING FOR SEPTEMBER

AND KNOW OUR LOVE WILL GROW.

‘CAUSE THAT’S THE TRICK, I THINK,

THAT PULLS US OFF THE BRINK:

THAT LITTLE BIT OF HOPE WILL HELP SOMEHOW.

WE’LL NEED SOME PATIENCE, TOO;

JUST TRUST AND IF YOU DO

I’LL DO MY VERY BEST IF YOU’LL ALLOW.

I CAN’T WAIT FOR NEXT SEPTEMBER,

THANKS FOR WALKING THROUGH MY DOOR.

I CAN’T WAIT FOR NEXT SEPTEMBER,

WHEN I KNOW I’LL LOVE YOU MORE.
