I was born too near the end
And the Moon was getting smaller
At the peak of a weakening phase
Waning Gibbous raised a scholar

Ok, baby boy, let’s see what else you can do
September was my true love’s tune

'82: I was born too near the end
To save the day forever after
Someone misspoke or I miss dreamt
Cue my mother’s nervous laughter

Ok, little man, let’s see what else you can do
September was my true love’s tune
There’s no place like any broken home

I was so wrong, took for granted
I could save the disenchanted
Help you help me defy the drama
Golden boys got no time for trauma

'92: I was never bored again
Sweet delusions made of grandeur
Every sketch of song an invisible friend
Every man a father figure

Hey there, wonder boy, let’s see what else you can do
September was my true love’s tune

So '02: What a time to be alive
What an anxious little lover
Taking everything in stride
It takes a lifetime to recover

So tell me what you want, could it be yourself?
Could it be me?
Tell me what you want, could it be yourself?
Could it be?

I remember Aja on the minidisc you wrecked
Overwriting everything the body won't forget
As I walked from another broken home
To another broken home to another broken home at last

I was so young, took for granted
I could make the world enchanted
Help you help me spin the drama
Golden boy in the time of trauma

Love me, love me, say you love me
I will take your love for granted
Help me help me, I can't help it
Say you love me, do you really? Do
September was my true love’s tune
September something, eighty what
September something, eighty what
September something, eighty what

2012: I was born again, again
I got dumped for someone younger
Here it is, your moment of zen
The prescription is more hunger

So tell me what you want, could it be yourself?
Could it be you?
Tell me what you want, could it be yourself?
Could it, me
Tell me what, be yourself?
Could it be me?
Tell me what you want, could it be yourself?
Could it be me?
Tell me what you want, could it be yourself?
Be me
Tell me what, could it be yourself?
Could it, me
