September 1st Lyrics

I tried hanging up a picture

In my dorm room today

I tried to do it myself

Then realized I might need a tool

But remembered I'd lost it when I

Built you that pedestal

Over summer

It felt like a coming-of-age film

And you're so lovely

It partly shattered me

There was no meanness

Just a whole lot of physical distance

And it hurts a lot

But I just got to keep faith

That we'll talk again

Someday

Now it's September 1st

And I already miss you

I promised I'd give you a call

But I think I'll need a few more to

Make it through the fall

This might be a long year

And you're so lovely

It partly shattered me

There was no meanness

Just a whole lot of physical distance

And it hurts a lot

But I just got to keep faith

That we'll talk again

Someday

Now I'm here writing this song

In Connecticut

And you're working in a kitchen

Somewhere in Oregon

Why did you make

The kiss goodbye so delicate?

Did you have to make

The sweetness so indefinite?

And it hurts a lot

But I just got to keep faith

That we'll talk again

Someday
