[Intro] I found your old blue ticket in the pocket of my coat One faded little promise from a summer we both wrote [Verse 1] You took the window seat, I counted every stop Shared one pair of earbuds while the rain began to drop Your silver charm was tapping on the zipper of your bag I made a joke about forever, you pretended not to laugh Now the corner bakery changed the sign above the door But I still turn my head expecting what we were before I keep those tiny moments like receipts inside a drawer Proof that something beautiful can leave and still mean more [Pre-Chorus] If I close my eyes, I’m back there for a second Your hand in mine, no question, no pretending The years move fast, but one thing I know Some goodbyes never really let go [Chorus] We were young, we were running out of time Laughing like the whole world could be mine Even when the last train pulled away A part of us kept moving yesterday So turn it up, let the old days spin Let the ache come dancing back again I don’t need to call you to remember You’re the song I carry into every September [Verse 2] I learned your coffee order, you learned my worst mistakes We drew our future plans on napkins by the lakes You said, “Don’t make it heavy,” so I kept it in my chest Now every crowded room still puts that promise to the test Rap] Yeah, I took the long way home, past the schoolyard fence Same cracked basketball, different consequence We were broke, but every midnight felt expensive Two hearts on a deadline, never checking the sentence Now I’m dancing with the ghosts of a summer in rewind No regret in my pocket, just a photograph I find If tomorrow takes the color from the picture on the wall I’ll remember how we rose before we learned to fall [Pre-Chorus] If I close my eyes, I’m back there for a second Your hand in mine, no question, no pretending The years move fast, but one thing I know Some goodbyes never really let go [Chorus] We were young, we were running out of time Laughing like the whole world could be mine Even when the last train pulled away A part of us kept moving yesterday So turn it up, let the old days spin Let the ache come dancing back again I don’t need to call you to remember You’re the song I carry into every September [Bridge] Maybe we were never meant to stay Maybe leaving was the only way But if your window catches this refrain Know I’m grateful for the beautiful pain [Final Chorus] We were young, we were running out of time Still a little fire underneath the years gone by Even when the last train pulled away A part of us keeps moving yesterday So turn it up, let the old days spin Let the ache come dancing back again I don’t need to call you to remember You’re the song I carry into every September [Outro] Every September I remember Every September We were young
