Story Behind The Song
the song is the story
Song Description
"september" is really a song about a bad breakup ... a love gone astray. It opens up with a scene about rolling around in bed all day, happy and playful. It quickly introduces internal conflict in the pre-chorus, an ominous sign that something's not right. The chorus depicts the actual meeting of the unrequited lovers and there are questions to be answered. It seemed like such a fairytale romance that now it seems like it was only a dream.
The second verse shows more action but visually strikes images of the characters at a party, trying to choke down wine and bitterness all in one swift gulp.

Lyrics
pop goes bang another
we spent our days undercover
floating falling rolling baby
i don't remember what i was just saying
and when the lights go out is when you put on the charm
and when the lights go out is when you're doing me harm
do you remember
way back in september
was that just a daydream
the place by the treeswing
or was it november?
it's hard to remember
it felt like a movie
or was it a daydream?
let's get a few somethings staight like
hows the weather?
or even better
what do you anticipate when
your apologies are unfashionably late
just pop a bottle of wine and have a cheer for old times
and try to choke it down
let's get a few somethings straight and tell me
do you remember?
was it a daydream?
