Plain White T's - A Lonely September Lyrics






I'm sittin' here all by myself
Just tryin' to think of something to do
Tryin' to think of something, anything
Just to keep me from thinking of you
But you know it's not working out
'cause you're all that's on my mind
One thought of you is all it takes
To leave the rest of the world behind

[Chorus]
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did

I'm sittin' here tryin' to convince myself
That you're not the one for me
But the more I think, the less I believe it
And the more I want you here with me
You know the holidays are coming up
I don't want to spend them alone
Memories of Christmas time with you
Will just kill me if I'm on my own

[Chorus]
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back

I know it's not the smartest thing to do
We just can't seem to get it right
But what I wouldn't give to have one more chance tonight
One more chance tonight

I'm sittin' here tryin' to entertain myself with this old guitar
But with all my inspiration gone it's not getting me very far
I look around my room and everything I see reminds me of you
Oh please, baby won't you take my hand
We've got nothing left to prove

[Chorus]
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did

And I didn't mean to meet you then
We were just kids
And I didn't mean to give you chills
The way that I kiss
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back but I know you did
Don't say you didn't love me back 'cause you know you did
No, you didn't mean to love me back
But you did

  11. Y.... T....

    Sept 2018 I met him when I first came to the university I’m a first year ug student and he’s a first year phd student. I didn’t like him at the beginning and he didn’t realise that he likes me from the very beginning. After few months, he told me that he’s going back to his hometown (we both come from the same country same town). I started crying so bad in my bed when I’m thinking that he’s leaving soon. That’s the time I realised I didn’t mean to love him but I did.
    Feb 2019 the week before valentine’s day he finally confessed to me. He said he knows that we’re not meant to be together. He doesn’t believe in LDR and he thinks that this is going to end up sad as his ex-relationship failed because of LDR and that hurts him a lot. So we both cried and decided not to start a relationship.
    He still bought me flowers on Valentine’s Day and we went for a date. After that, we went on a few dates before he went to Iceland with his family. His mum thought I’m his gf and asked him to bring me over for dinner at his place. I asked him again “Am I even your gf?” And he asked me back “are you not?” We both just laughed it off. But yeah I told him I wasn’t ready to meet his mum.
    Until today I still can’t believe that we literally fall in love with each other even we know that we’re gonna be apart one day.

    “I’m sitting here trying to convince myself that you’re not the one for me but the more I think the less I believe it and the more I want you here with me.”
    “I know it’s not the smartest thing to do but we just can’t seem to get it right.”
    “Oh please baby won’t you take my hand we’ve got nothing left to prove.”
    “And I didn’t mean to fall in love but I did.”

    I don't know why you felt like leaving me, Rachel. But one thing is for sure. I will wait for you until you change your mind. I know and feel that there's still some affection for me in your heart but you're avoiding me and hate me for something I have no idea of. But it doesn't matter. I'll just wait for you, hoping that you will return. I swear to my life that I'll never try to get into a relationship with you. You were my girl *best* friend all this time and that's just what you'll be for me. 😔💏🚫

    This is the most relatable song ever!! We started dating in September ( both our birth months) and broke up. I fell in love, sadly. As September approaches the worse and uninspired I feel. I miss him so much.

    F.... ....

    F.... ....

    Too retable for me too. It started going downhill and basically ended in September for me. I feel you.

    F.... ....

    Should we.... Wake you up when September ends.....?
    (Sorry, I couldn't resist)

  49. N.... :....

    Man, this song makes me tear up every time i hear it. It doesn't even have to do with any personal issues of my own, surprisingly; It's just a really sad song, and a beautiful one at that :c.

    ITS BEEN A YEAR AND YOU ARE STILL HERE :< .

  88. M.... G....

    I can really relate to this song.

  89. D.... L....

    Yes indeed Kingdom rules... I LOVE u and yes u are right: I really didn't mean to fall in love, I was trying to talk to u about something else u know, things that matter and are very important to me and me only... but I am so glad that I fell in love with u cause u make me incredibly happy, and u make me believe in the goodness and justice again in a universe where God really started to get mad and started thinking about revenge.... It's interesting how God loves but how he can go mad.... So, I love u James and I will always be there with u and for u... U c, many times we don't need to look for justice, it just comes knocking on our door.... It's always been this way, Only God can turn life into a game, cause everything belongs to him but when people play with lives then God gets mad cause motherfuckers walk around acting God and playing gods,,,,, When u create something and expose human beings to some kinda experiment it hits u hard someday if u don't take the responsibility for what U 've created so..... Look at God and how he takes care of his Kingdom.... He takes responsibility for what he has created so Long live the Kingdom...... O James I love writing u know... I love it so much that we can finally meet in your territory and u have no idea at ALL how happy I am to find the right King... U my LOVE

  90. n.... ....

    my newfound love.

    n.... ....

    @necrohero0 i love this songs? :)

  91. j.... ....

    suicide time, x.x this song killed me
