september never stays this cold
where i come from and you know
i'm not one (i'm not one)
for complaining (for complaining)
but i loved the way you'd roll
excuses off the tip of your tongue
as i'd slowly (slowly, quietly, slowly)
fall apart (...fall apart)

it's falling apart
it's falling apart
it's falling apart
it's falling apart

i said this won't mean a thing come tomorrow
and that's exactly how i'll make it seem
'cause i'm still not sleeping
thinking "i've crawled home from worse than this"
so please, please, (please)
i'm running out of sympathy
(i'm running out of sympathy)
and i never said i'd take this
i never said i'd take this laying down

she says, "c'mon c'mon
lets just get this over with"
she says, "c'mon c'mon
lets just get this over with"
(she says, "c'mon c'mon")
and i never said i'd take this laying down
("let's just get this over with")
i've crawled home from worse than this
(well she says, "c'mon, c'mon")
("c'mon, c'mon")
far worse than this

(you always come close but this never come easy)
i still know everything
(you always come close but you never come easy)
still know everything
(this always come close but you never come easy)
i still know everything
(and you always come so close)
i still know everything
(so)
i still know everything
i still know

you always come close but this never comes easy
you always come close but you never come easy
you're coming and...
you're coming close
(i never said i'd take this laying down)

i never said i'd take this laying down
but i've crawled home from worse than this
if it's not keeping you up nights
(then what's the point?)
and what's the point?
(but what's the point?)
and what's the point?

i'm in your room
is this turning you on?
am i turning you on?
i'm in your room
are you turned on?
i'm on the corner of your bed
i'm thinking "maybe..."
are you turned on?
are you turned on?

Yes, the 'beautiful girls' monologue at the beginning is from a movie actually called "Beautiful Girls" It's a great movie, every teenager should see it.

This is by far my favorite TBS song. This is what they do best, put emotion into incredible songs and add amazing lyrics. It's so fucking great. How could you not love this song? Too bad they split I have a feeling they could have made many more likethis

John (backups/guitar) and Shuan (bass) are the 2 original members that left, they got Fred to take Johns spot and Matt for Shaun.

FUUUUUUCK!!! This has to be one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard. I love the violin? playing in the background in the intro. This song is so beautiful.
