Roy Blair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Times that I went to your place now, now But I,
I lock it out now Yeah I,
I The price I'd pay for brighter days Don't leave us again Don't
Leave us again Don't leave us again Don't you leave Don't leave us
Again Don't leave us again Don't leave us again Don't leave us again
Don't leave me Drunk walking home Wishing
You would call my phone Where did we go wrong (
I chose to show ya Hope you notice that I'm
Not over ya, nah nah) Waited all night long (
Yeah, was that a memory that you kept?
You know we always kept the film on deck That's Francis Ford in your
Honda Accord You wanted more) Wish that we still talked Even if the
Talk was small Paint it on the wall And I hear you all the time But I
Don't ever cry Deep inside I, I'm leaving My, my, my mistakes I, I,
I'm listening I'm listening I know everything will end But I wish
It'd start again Couldn't face the rain Waited 'til September came
Made friends with my ex, in my bed, in my head We never were,
We never were You can hate me when I'm dead What could I do then?
The lyrics of Roy Blair's song "September" talk about a tumultuous relationship that has suffered a long separation. The singer hasn't seen their significant other for three months, and they're reminiscing about all the times they went to their place. Despite wanting to see them again, the singer seems to have closed themselves off emotionally and physically from the other person. The lyrics "I lock it out now / Yeah, I, I / The price I'd pay for brighter days" suggest that the singer is protecting themselves from further hurt and heartbreak.
The chorus "Don't leave us again / Don't leave me" highlights the singer's fear of abandonment and their desire for the relationship to continue. The lines "Where did we go wrong / (I kept a lock on the door so you wouldn't know more than what I, I chose to show ya)" suggest that the relationship was characterized by secrets and miscommunication. The singer is regretful and ambivalent about the relationship, as indicated by the lines "Wish that we still talked / Even if the talk was small / Paint it on the wall."
Furthermore, the lyrics "And I hear you all the time / But I don't ever cry / Deep inside I, I'm leaving" suggest that the singer is trying to move on from the other person. The line "Made friends with my ex, in my bed, in my head / We never were, we never were" suggests that the singer is grappling with their emotions and trying to come to terms with the end of the relationship.
Overall, "September" is a heart-rending song about a relationship that has ended, but its echoes remain in the singer's mind and heart.

I haven't seen your face in about three months now
It's been three months since I last saw you
Think of all the Times that I went to your place now, now
Remember all the times I visited your place
But I, I lock it out now
But now I try to block out those memories
Yeah I, I The price I'd pay for brighter days
I would do anything for happier times
Don't leave us again
Please don't go away again
Don't you leave Don't leave us Again Don't leave us again Don't leave us again
I don't want you to abandon me again
Don't leave me Drunk walking home Wishing You would call my phone
I'm walking home drunk and hoping you would call me
Where did we go wrong
What caused our relationship to fall apart?
(I kept a lock on the door so you wouldn't know more than what I, I chose to show ya
I tried to hide some things from you and only showed you what I wanted you to see
Hope you notice that I'm Not over ya, nah nah)
I hope you realize that I'm still not over you
Waited all night long ( Yeah, was that a memory that you kept?
I waited all night long, wondering if you remember our times together
You know we always kept the film on deck
We always had memories saved to look back on
That's Francis Ford in your Honda Accord You wanted more)
We wanted more than just a car ride listening to music together
Wish that we still talked Even if the Talk was small
I wish we could still have small conversations
Paint it on the wall
I want to make this memory last forever
And I hear you all the time
I can still hear your voice in my head
But I Don't ever cry Deep inside I, I'm leaving
But I never cry, deep inside I'm trying to move on
My, my, my mistakes I, I, I'm listening I'm listening
I'm acknowledging my mistakes and trying to learn from them
I know everything will end But I wish It'd start again
I know things will eventually come to an end, but I wish we could start over
Couldn't face the rain Waited 'til September came
I couldn't handle the sadness and waited until September for a new beginning
Made friends with my ex, in my bed, in my head We never were, We never were
I've made peace with my past, but we were never meant to be together
You can hate me when I'm dead What could I do then?
If you hate me after I die, there's nothing I can do
