September Lyrics
I remember when I met you, just before September
You were dancing in the street, rocking that pink and leather
Begged my friend for your number, I bet you don't remember
That's how we began
I pursued you for a year, I would have waited longer
I knew ultimately it would make the feeling stronger
That first time I kissed you, I could look in the mirror
And like who I was (I liked who I was)
[Pre-Chorus]
I could never wait for the weekends when you would come over
'Cause that's when I'd see you again
You're all my strength and my weakness
You battle my demons
You're still undefeated
[Chorus]
Sometimes I get a little bit jaded
Too much pressure just to make it (Ooh-woah)
You smile when I'm angry and I hate it (Ooh-woah)
But I'll still love you for the rest of my life
My crush on you has never faded
Let's go back to bed until we break it
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life (My life, my life, my life)
Ooh
If you wanted to
I'd start a family with you
[Verse 2]
I remember being foolish when I met your mother
'Cause she had that Irish charm right then I knew I'd love her
That's where you got your heart
When we got back to the car
I knew you were the one (I knew I wanted you beside me)
[Pre-Chorus]
I could never wait for the weekends when you would come over
'Cause that's when I'd see you again
You're all my strength and my weakness
You battle my demons
You're still undefeated
[Chorus]
Sometimes I get a little bit jaded
Too much pressure just to make it
You smile when I'm angry and I hate it
But I'll still love you for the rest of my life
My crush on you has never faded
Let's go back to bed until we break it (My love, my love, won't break)
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life
Ooh
If you wanted to
I'd start a family with you
Ooh
If you wanted to
I'd start a family with you
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Sometimes I get a little bit jaded
Too much pressure just to make it
You smile when I'm angry and I hate it
But I'll still love you for the rest of my life
My crush on you has never faded
Let's go back to bed until we break it
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
If you wanted to
I'd start a family with you
Ooh
If you wanted to
I'd start a family with you

One of the goals with this album was to maintain the classic songwriting that people might expect from me, that storytelling. But we wanted to dress it up a bit cooler. [The production here] is almost Springsteen vibes with the guitar. And the vocals are a bit raspier than normal. If you translate that onto an acoustic guitar and do a picky thing, it could be [previous hits] “Falling Like the Stars” or “Say You Won’t Let Go”, stuff that I’ve done before. I’m on my fourth album now. The last thing I want to be is predictable.
The music video for September is not like any other music video I’ve ever done before it was effectively a movie! And it was shot over 2 days where I got to do some comedy acting with some seriously talented people and work with a director that I’m a huge fan of the genius Bryan Schlam.
