I can still see you standing there
Summer tangled in your hair
First week of july
First day of my life
My voice shook when I said hello
And from that word we couldn't take it slow
I still can't believe
The way you looked at me
Now the nights turn colder
Your head's on my shoulder
We do our best to pretend
Waves get louder
I'm lost without her
This summer starts to end
Lets blame it on September
Cuz it hurts to remember
We can fight to hold on
But august is gone
And even if the sun falls
I hope we don't lose it all
Cause no summer lasts forever
Lets blame it on September
We drew hearts there, in the sand
Laughed when waves erased our plans
Though we never knew
That they told the truth
I can still hear our laughing friends
As we sneak off again and again
No we never cared
Too young to be scared
The nights turn colder
Your hand's on my shoulder
As summer starts to end
Lets blame it on September
Cause it hurts to remember
We can fight to hold on
But august is gone
Even if the sun falls
I hope we don't lose it all
Cause no summer lasts forever
On the beach in the heat
Ya know I need that sweet ocean air
I'm gunna go where I know we can be alone
Wait for you wait for you
Blame it on September
We can try to hold on
But August is gone
Blame it on September
Cause it hurts to remember
We can fight to hold on
But August is gone
When the sun falls
I hope we don't lose it all
Cause no summer lasts forever
Lets blame it on September
Blame it on September
I can still see you standing there
Summer tangled in your hair
