September Song Lyrics
Our love is as strong as a lion
Soft as the cotton you lie on
Times we got hot like an iron
You and I
Our hearts have never been broken
We were so innocent darling
We used to talk till the morning
You and I
We had that mixtape on every weekend
Had it repeating
Had it repeating
You were my September song
Summer lasted too long
Time moves so slowly
When you're only fifteen
You were my September song
Tell me where have you gone?
Do you remember me?
We were only fifteen
And I, I remember the chorus
They were singing it for us
You were my September song
Tell me where have you gone
Do you remember me?
We were only fifteen
Sometimes I think that I see your
Face in the strangest of places
Down on the underground station passing by
I get a mad sense of danger
Feel like my heart couldn't take it
Cause if we met we'd be strangers
You and I
Still I play that mixtape every weekend
Got it repeating
Got it repeating
You were my September song
Summer lasted too long
Time moves so slowly (slowly)
When you're only fifteen
You were my September song
Tell me where have you gone?
Do you remember me?
We were only fifteen
And I, I remember the chorus
They were singing it for us
I hear that September song
That I'm singing along
Thinking about you and me
Oh what a melody
And as the years go by
You will still be my, be my
(September song)
You are my
(September song)
You were my September song
Summer lasted too long
Time moves so slowly (remember)
When you're only fifteen
You were my September song
Tell me where have you gone
Do you remember me?
We were only fifteen
And I, I remember the chorus
They were singing it for us
You were my September song
I remember the chorus
They were singing it for us
Meaning of September Song
“September Song” by JP Cooper is a poignant and wistful reflection on first love’s potent, yet ultimately fleeting, nature, anchored firmly in the hazy nostalgia of teenage summers. The core of the song revolves around a remembered romance with someone fifteen years old – “You were my September song,” repeatedly emphasized – a phrase that immediately evokes images of carefree joy, shared mixtapes, and an intense, almost overwhelming connection. Cooper masterfully employs vivid imagery: comparing their love to a lion’s strength, the softness of cotton, or the heat of an iron, painting a picture of passionate intensity tempered by youthful innocence. The song isn't simply about recalling a past relationship; it’s about grappling with the lingering impact of that experience and the unsettling realization that time has fundamentally altered their paths.
The repetition of “Summer lasted too long” underscores the bittersweet feeling of an idyllic period abruptly ending, while the constant questioning – “Do you remember me?” – reveals a deep yearning for reconnection and a desperate attempt to hold onto a cherished memory. The recurring image of seeing her face in unexpected places—the underground station—highlights how this past love continues to haunt the narrator’s present, triggering an emotional surge that his heart might not be able to withstand. Ultimately, Cooper’s message is one of enduring, almost melancholic adoration; he acknowledges the passage of time and the potential for estrangement but remains captivated by the indelible mark this youthful romance left upon him – a “September song” forever echoing in his heart.
