[Verse 1]
If somebody leaves the back door open, there's cause for alarm
Cause something always turns up missing, when no one's around
I knew about a man one time who kept everything open
And all his friends couldn't tell if he was joking when he packed up to run

[Chorus]
I think I'm gonna miss September
But I'm leaving either way
I'll probably write you a letter
I can't imagine what I'll say
What should I say?

[Verse 2]
Looking at over her life now, somewhere close to the middle
The second half doesn't look any easier than looking back
Had a little brush with regret, could have done a few things different
Or maybe in a different order if they needed be done

[Chorus]
I think I'm gonna miss September
But I'm leaving either way
I'll probably write you a letter
I can't imagine what I'll say
What should I say?
[Verse 3]
If you wanna make a big splash when your feet hit the water
You might need to get a little taste before you're gonna follow
Because with a little bit more restraint, it will seem like more intention
Even in your dreams, you know your limits were real

Yeah

[Chorus]
I think I'm gonna miss September
But I'm leaving either way
I'll probably write you a letter
I can't imagine what I'll say
What should I say?
