September Lights

You, you didn't mean to burn me
But I'm made of gasoline
We caught fire like kerosene
Ignited mid-January

Friends, but no, we don't ever talk
So many lines we've crossed
Takes so much to not call

And I can't forget all the nights we spent, all the songs I sang to you
And I could dance, start a new romance, but my mind still goes back to

Fireworks and headlights
Flashbacks and paradise
Let's run away, just you and I
To that first night in September lights
Safe place and fairy lights
Photo-booths and petty fights
Sixteen but it felt right
That first night in September lights

And I, I can still taste your skin
The curve of your upper lip
The touch of your fingertips
Haunts me every moment

And God - she knows how I've been since
All the dreams you've been in
The ways I've been copin'

And I could drink but the only thing I'll talk about is you
And I could dance, start a new romance, but my mind still goes back to

Fireworks and headlights
Flashbacks and paradise
Let's run away, just you and I
To that first night in September lights
First kiss and midnights
Polaroids and soft eyes
Messy end but we got it right
That first night in September lights

I miss your hair and your angel eyes
Your face that I've memorized
Sculpted deep in my mind

Please, don't forget all the nights
The feelings you try to hide
That once in a lifetime
Love that you won't feel twice

Fireworks and headlights
Flashbacks and paradise
Let's run away, just you and I
To that first night in September lights

Safe place and fairy lights
Photo-booths and petty fights
Sixteen but it felt right
That first night in September lights
First kiss and midnights
Polaroids and soft eyes
Messy end but we got it right
That first night in September lights

That first night in September lights
That first night in September lights
That first night in September lights
That first night in September lights
