Lyrics:
In the middle of September, we entertained the thought Of falling into rabbit holes and never coming out In the garden of a girl whose mum is friends with Elton John So she kept telling us But still We slipped a year or so behind ourselves, the time's already gone When people were just people, not the jobs that they perform Our songs were just a thing we did with melodies and chords Now you're available in all good record stores But I knew you best Back when love was just a feeling that ran out between my legs Onto the back of my dress Onto the clothes that I was wearing Oh, when I was a child I was expected to believe In something up above that no one touches or can see But they tell me that unless you're looking out of magazines Well then, you don't exist But I knew that you were real before I read it in an interview today Before I used you as a surface, did a line across your face In the toilet of a girl who's sitting outside Dropping names like they were carpet bombs She knows everyone But I knew you first Back when love was underneath you With my fingers in the dirt You said, 'I'll stop if it hurts' You said, 'I'll stop it if it's scaring' You said 'You know that I can stop this any time If you think that it is tearing' And I think of you when the leaves are brown I think of leaves that I have felt Against my body on the ground I think of places where we could go to now Until they find us, 'til they catch us 'Til they wake us and we drown Until I know where I am I'm in a garden half-remembering your fingers in my hand Were like a book made of sand And it's the middle of September, your image starts to fade To the one that they have printed on the 27th page Don't like to read these things, you know I do it anyway I have no choice I have no choice, I say And I go out in the garden, where the birds begin to sing And I'm troubled by the thought of all the daylight they will bring And I think that I will let somebody take me home again 'Cause if I knew you at all Then my love was underneath you, making puddles on the floor And I'm asleep to the thought of two people walking two steps forward Always to the lives they've chosen Clicks and hums and sirens in the sun
