September never stays this cold,
Where I come from and you know,
I'm not one, for complaining.
But I love the way you roll
Excuses off the tip of your tounge,
As I (slowly) slowly, quietly, slowly, fall apart.

This won't mean a thing come tomorrow,
And that's exactly how I'll make it seem.
'Cause I'm still not sleeping,
Thinking I've crawled home from worse than this.
So please, please, (please)
I'm running out of sympathy,(I'm running out of sympathy)
I never said I'd take this,
I never said I'd take this lying down.

She says, "C'mon c'mon,
Lets just get this over with."(3x)

I never said I'd take this lying down.
Well I've crawled home from worse than this,
From worse than this!

You always come close
But this never comes easy.
I still know everything.(3x)

You always come close
But this never comes easy.(2x)

I never said I'd take this lying down.(2x)

You always come!
You're coming close.

I never said I'd take this lying down.
But I've crawled home from worse than this.
If it's not keeping you up at night,
Then what's the point?(4x)

I'm in your room,
Well is this turning you on?
Am I turning you on?

I'm in your room,
Are you turned on?
I'm on the corner of your bed
Are you turned on?(2x)
