September never stays this cold
Where I come from, and you know
I'm not one for complaining (I'm not one for complaining)
But I love the way you'd roll
Excuses off the tip of your tongue
As I slowly fall apart (slowly, quietly, slowly)
Fall apart
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
So please, please (please)
I'm running out of sympathy (I'm running out of sympathy!)
And I never said I'd take this
I never said I'd take this lying down
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, let's just get this over with
and I've crawled home from worse than this)
She says
Come on, come on, let's just get this over with
She says
Come on, come on
(You always come close but this never comes easy)
I still know everything
(You always come close but you never come easy)
I still know everything
(This always comes close but you never come easy)
I still know everything
(You always come so close)
I still know everything, I still know everything, I still know
You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come close but you never come easy
You always come... you come in close
(I never said I'd take this lying down)
I never said I'd take this lying down
But I've crawled home from worse than this
If it's not keeping you up nights
(Then what's the point?)
Then what's the point?
(Then what's the point?)
Then what's the point?
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?
