I had planted peace in my routine
Early mornings, ditching wine for tea
Up until we kissed on West 15th
Last September

I was writing nothing but your name
I'll admit I didn't eat for days
I was so damn nervous nights you'd stay
Last October

And I didn't know that my life would change
'Cause I always thought that love was a game
I never dreamt that someone could make me feel this way

As the months go by
I keep seeing you and I
Staying like this 'til we die
I'll forever thank last September
As the months go by
I leave all my pain behind
I'll feel this way 'til I die
I'll forever thank last September
Last September

Now our faces beam in picture frames
Eyes bright from your favorite champagne
Now you say I made you love the rain
In November

Now we spend each morning so care-free
Playing Jack Johnson's In-Between Dreams
On the record player you got me
Last December

And I didn't know that my life would change
'Cause I always thought that love was a game
I never dreamt that someone could make me feel this way

As the months go by
I keep seeing you and I
Staying like this 'til we die
I'll forever thank last September
As the months go by
I leave all my pain behind
I'll feel this way 'til I die
I'll forever thank last September
Last September
