September is confusing 'cause the weather's still hot
But everyone's gone back to school
Summer doesn't fade until early October
Sometimes it goes even longer
Something in the way it felt that day
After that most horrible thing
The weather was abnormally perfect
Playing opposition to what was happening
It lasted the rest of September that year
I don't remember weather ever being better or clearer
All those buildings crashing down to the ground
The ending of the world in the sight and the sound
Woke up and found we were losing
September is confusing 'cause the weather's still hot
But everyone's gone back to school
Summer doesn't fade until early October
Sometimes it grows even stronger
Something in the way it felt that night
After that most harrowing day
I kept hearing Evelyn's voice in my ear
Saying, "Stephen, I don't know where my husband is."
It's lasted the rest of forever a scar
What it's taken her to make it this far
The floor he was on the plane came right through the window
No matter what you make of it one thing that I know
This was never of our choosing
September is confusing
It lasted the rest of September that year
I don't remember weather ever being better or clearer
All those buildings crashing down to the ground
The ending of the world in the sight and the sound
Woke up and found we were losing
September is confusing 'cause the weather's still hot
But everyone's gone back to school
Summer doesn't fade until early October
Sometimes it goes even longer
