Every other boy was good as gold
but something held me back I wasn't sold
you were no ordinary soul
just like my father
I can taste the whiskey in your kiss
looking for some momentary bliss
turn out the lights put up your fists
it's getting harder
[Chorus:]
I gotta hold a hold on you
You gotta hold a hold on me
Every other lover I ever knew
Never made me feel the way that you do
I know I know it goes too fast
I feel I feel that this one could last
End of the summer the days are long
Radio plays our favourite love song
You can be crazy and unkind
When you got money on your mind
I know how to stop it and rewind
Make you remember
Lying on the floor the lights are low
Tell me what you're thinking, touch me slow
Wish I could forget you have to go
Home in September
[Chorus]
Sunlight fades
And the days just slip away
Like sand in a moment you'll be gone
I pray you'll remember yesterday
And all the warm nights spent together
but something held me back I wasn't sold
you were no ordinary soul
just like my father
I can taste the whiskey in your kiss
looking for some momentary bliss
turn out the lights put up your fists
it's getting harder
[Chorus:]
I gotta hold a hold on you
You gotta hold a hold on me
Every other lover I ever knew
Never made me feel the way that you do
I know I know it goes too fast
I feel I feel that this one could last
End of the summer the days are long
Radio plays our favourite love song
You can be crazy and unkind
When you got money on your mind
I know how to stop it and rewind
Make you remember
Lying on the floor the lights are low
Tell me what you're thinking, touch me slow
Wish I could forget you have to go
Home in September
[Chorus]
Sunlight fades
And the days just slip away
Like sand in a moment you'll be gone
I pray you'll remember yesterday
And all the warm nights spent together
