lyrics

If I was September, then you'd be November
Always with one month between us
So close together
Forever yet never will our shoulders touch
Thus the heartache in the view of the days we outnumber and how often I can see you hold hands with December, but she'll never remember how it feels to lose you
But I do

Then January wed you, oblivious that I knew the way your hair used to fall down your face
Or cheeks that may glisten when I have told you a story that made the ghosts fly away

Though I may have been naive that I may have believed in hope that you would turn back to look at me
So, I've been deceived by the notion I dreamed
I knew it wasn't that I was crazy
It wasn't there, but I didn't pull it out of thin air
It isn't there so I won't pull it out of thin air

When words are left unsaid, it's the ravenous thread unbroken, leading me right back to you
All that remains unspoken seeps through me like a poison and drenched all thoughts of anything new

So I must tell you

Sometimes friends aren't forever
And the special word will never be the same thing to me as it may be to you
You can seal it with a kiss but on my lips this will be the only thing I will say to you

Love it transcends, patient and kind but I've had enough
Enough this time
For my eyes can't bear it and I don't want to see it again and again that you'll never be mine
So September's behind you or so far in front of you and I need to live a separate life
Where I'm not so blinded by the shadow you leave me
But where October is right in front of me

Where he can bring me somewhere I'm alive
Where he can bring me somewhere I'm alive
