Leaves are fallin', it's September The night came in and made her shiver I told her she could have my jacket Wrapped it tight around her shoulders And I was so young 'til she kissed me Like a whiskey, like a whiskey I never knew that love was blind 'Til I was hers, but she was never mine Yeah, I was reckless But I let it burn, I let it burn, yeah The feeling, it was bittersweet Realizing I was into deep She was a lesson I had to learn, I had to learn, yeah I used to try to forget her But now I smile when I remember Leaves are fallin', it's September The night came in and made her shiver I told her she could have my jacket Wrapped it tight around her shoulders And I was so young 'til she kissed me Like a whiskey, like a whiskey, whoa Would've left this world behind Just to wake up by your side Every mornin' I Would've sold my soul for a little more time mmm Would've waited a thousand nights If she never said goodbye I admit that I Would've sold my soul for a little more time I used to try to forget her But now I smile when I remember oh Leaves are fallin', it's September The night came in and made her shiver I told her she could have my jacket Wrapped it tight around her shoulders And I, was so young, 'til she kissed me Like a whiskey, like a whiskey I ain't like the other Cognacs Or type of cat that'd never call back Or lose contact when you runnin' out of rum and you make a run (Feelin' light and dizzy, might be tipsy) All of that tequila's a killer, little vodka Break her off somethin' proper Pop a cork and play spin the bottle (Every time you kiss me, like some whiskey) Punch drunk love, it's a fine line Dom Pérignon, she the fine wine Someone call 911, I'm runnin' out of time She done got off my heart Leaves are fallin', it's September (woah) The night came in and made her shiver I told her she could have my jacket Wrapped it tight around her shoulders And I was so young (so young) 'Til she kissed me (yeah) Like a whiskey (yeah) And I was so young (so young) 'Til she kissed me Like a whiskey, like a whiskey
