Name: September
Duration: P00H03M50S
Description: This song is named after the month of my birth, September. When I was growing up, I always looked forward to my birthday. But I've found that over the years I've begun to dread it, as it serves as a reminder that I'm getting older, and I still have no idea what I'm doing with my life. This song, therefore, is an anthem for the twentysomething in all of us.

lyrics

Another year and I still can't get to sleep
It's starting to hit me now my youth ain't gon repeat, yeah
Look in the mirror and I wonder what it's there for
It just reminds me that I don't know who I am anymore

I'm treading water

Oh, September, tell me where do I go?
Can someone prove to me that I'm not alone?
Oh, September, tell me what do I do?
Why don't I feel like I'm living it like I should?
I should

Everybody's just waiting on a plane
To carry them off to their new chapters, their new days
I'm screaming inside
This ain't the way
I want it to align
Why am I the one to still be trapped inside my mind

I'm treading water

Oh, September, tell me where do I go?
Can someone prove to me that I'm not alone?
Oh, September, tell me what do I do?
Why don't I feel like I'm living it like I should?
I should
