Cold September

sitting outside on a sunday
and it's cold since the sun set
now i'm alone in the fading
light and i can't seem to forget
it's sad, i know i've been to
this place a thousand times before
and only once did you join
me as i walked through the door
i've asked a dozen times
and wished a hundred plus
tell me you can't take another day
take the transfer i'll meet you at your bus
now these days it seems
everything reminds me of you
forever dancing in my mind
no matter what i do
a birthday wish
just one more kiss
baby hold on to this
believe me when i wish

watch the autumn leaves fall
as the lonely street lights turn on
everything's seemed darker
since i knew that you were gone
the coffee's gone cold in
a cup i can't bring myself to finish
it's like if i do then you're not
coming back despite my wish
so i leave it in its place
won't touch it anymore
and it can remind me like
the rumpled shirt on the floor
from a better time when
i thought there was only you and i
could tell you all my answers
and you wouldn't ask me why
we both knew this would be hard
nine to five me without you
but it kills me all the distance
now which memories are true?
a birthday wish
just one more kiss
could we hold on to this
can we return to bliss?
