Before September

Don’t let the night end

Not yet, not yet

Your name is glowing on my screen

The last warm Friday of the year

You say the future starts tomorrow

I act like I don’t hear

So pull me closer

While the sky is still on fire

Before September takes you away

Dance with me like we’ve got nothing to save

Higher, higher, under the lights

Make this the best and the worst of my life

Before the summer falls out of view

Give me one night I can’t get over you

Higher, higher, don’t let me go

Love me before the cold wind blows

Bare feet running by the shoreline

Your jacket hanging from my hand

We leave our footprints near the water

Knowing they won’t last

The moon is fading

But my heart is burning brighter

Before September takes you away

Dance with me like we’ve got nothing to save

Higher, higher, under the lights

Make this the best and the worst of my life

Before the summer falls out of view

Give me one night I can’t get over you

Higher, higher, don’t let me go

Love me before the cold wind blows

Late-night, streetlights, salt upon my skin

Laughing for the camera while the ending settles in

You’ve got a ticket and a suitcase by the door

I’ve got a hundred little things I should’ve told you before

Hands up, bass loud, hide it in the sound

Keep the whole world moving while my heart is breaking down

One more song, one more chance to lose control

August took your body, but September gets your soul

When the morning finds us

Will you still remember?

Say my name forever

Before we lose the summer

Before September takes you away

Dance with me like we’ve got nothing to save

Higher, higher, tear through the sky

Make every star come alive for tonight

Before the summer falls out of view

Give me one night I can’t get over you

Higher, higher, don’t let me go

Love me before the cold wind blows

Before September takes you away

I’ll keep on dancing through every goodbye

Higher, higher, even alone

Carrying the fire wherever you go

Before the colors fade into blue

I’ll leave the last light burning for you

Higher, higher, one final glow

Love me before the cold wind blows

Don’t let the night end

Not yet, not yet
