I was born in September
And like everything else I can't remember
I replaced it with scenes from the film that I will never make

And I blinked it was over
I was thinking my luck would get slower
That I would sort this shit out when I'm sober

But you can better now that you're older

I read the scares on the front page
It says we're waiting around for an ice age
It says our comforts they come with a price tag

They killed the cancer but discovered a new plague

They say just think of the children
And imagine the world that we've willed them
It's populated with weirdos to kill them and break their hearts

And everybody knows

This is the end

It's now fashionable

In a part of conversation

Now I'm as old as you were when you had me
Should I be afraid?
Should I start a family?
Wisdom in the world
Cause up against the city
My love is such a small thing

When you're young you have
You had your whole life before you
Everyone will adore you
You'll grow up you'll be an astronaut

Then you weren't

What goes up goes up in flames
And now your choices surround you
And decision confounds you
And you're pacing around the place

Shows you everything you're not

And then the b... romance
You comitted a soul without his consent
To live a life of his own without his content

Cause young people get bored every day
Young people young people get bored

Never went to church
Thought a song was gonna save me
Swear I wrote a hymn
On that guitar that you gave me
Something that you spoke
Will build a fire's ...
My love is just a small thing

I'll just call to tell you
I'll just call to say
Learn all your mistakes
You were my inspiration
And I wasn't all we hope for
We'll shake it off and we'll say
Here's your yellow ribbon
I am your consolation

I was born in September
And if I die today
Just know I don't regret you
Some things I can't explain
It is a slow descent
It is a lover's place
Every god damn day

Now you know

No matter where you go

I will follow

I will follow

Anywhere you'll go

...

...

I just called to tell you
I just called to say
Learned all your mistakes
Passed down through generations
