September
Heather Duby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little more than yesterday
Help me hold on,
Together we could slip away
Please teach me
The ways of your heart
The ways of your mind
Together we could find
A better way to start
The ways of your mind
The ways of your heart
Yesterday was fun,
But now I'm wishing you were here
Pretend we're drinking wine
And make the world just disappear
We could sleep till three,
Just killing time
Right where we are
Take a walk with me
Under a sea
Of morning stars
Please teach me
The ways of your heart
The ways of your mind
The ways of your heart
Together we could find
A better way to start
The ways of your mind
The ways of your heart
Together we could find
A better way to start
The ways of your mind

She asks again for them to offer her their perspectives and help her understand the ways of their heart and mind. The song ends on this note, suggesting that there's a lot more to be discovered if we allow ourselves to look beyond the surface.

Beneath a sky filled with an abundance of
