## Lyrics

[Intro: Jack Met]
We're gonna be singing this song, oh

[Verse 1; Ryan Met]
? never again gonna walk around like I'm a boy-scout
'Cause I grew up in the city that takes pity
On the prettiest of fellas, greediest of fellas
Bellowing our names like someone just looking on the outside
Keep things ? like an ace
I'ma ace, I'ma ace
And hear them screaming in the park when we'd be singing alongside
And try to build a little buzz for our band
Shout-out to crazy Dan (hey!), don't worry man
You won't be living much more time on the bench in Washington Square

[Pre-Chorus: Adam Met]
I'm gonna, I'm gonna grab my shades, and meet this special girl
And when the time comes, I'll give her all the world
Gonna catch us downtown, with our head out on the road
But soon we'll see them buying tickets to our freaking show

I'll see my name in lights, but I don't have all the fame
I don't live for the haters, gonna keep going, gonna see the crowds cheering our name
But ?, when the critics don't care who they're voting for
They don't understand what we're trying to say, only see the color of our face

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
If for the winter and the autumn, we'll feel like crawling, but it's all good now (now)

[Chorus: Jack Met]
I don't want to waste the moments of the year
I don't want to waste another moment here
Just remember, Until September, I'ma be hitting this beat, oh!
I don't care about the one that got away
I just want to make a memory from today
Just remember, Until September, we're gonna be singing this song (oh)

[Post-Chorus]
Oh—(hey), oh—(hey), oh—
We're gonna be singing this song (oh!)

[Verse 2: Ryan Met]
Hi, I'm applying for a job here, but I don't have plenty experience
So I seem so inferior, 'cause I don't go to private school or own a yacht
But I also know how to spell yacht
So I try to maintain that ? when supported by my mom and pop

That's just where I felt, 'cause the world like that
'Cause the rhymes I'm telling myself, from the ?
With the notes on my bedtime shelf, I'd know I'd kill it
Hey, remember the smart Alex too nervous to squeal? (yeah)
Yeah, be smart Alex, come back with a freaking record deal

[Pre-Chorus: Adam Met]
I'm gonna grab my shades, and meet this special girl (special girl)
And when the time comes, I'll give her all the world (all the world)
Gonna catch us downtown, with our head out on the road
But soon we'll see them buying tickets to our freaking show

I'll see my name in lights, but I don't have all the fame
I don't live for the haters, gonna keep going, gonna see the crowds cheering our name (our name)
But ?, when the critics don't care who they're voting for
They don't understand what we're trying to say, only see the color of our face

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
If for the winter and the autumn, we'll feel like crawling, but it's all good now

[Chorus: Jack Met]
I don't want to waste the moments of the year
I don't want to waste another moment here
Just remember, Until September, I'ma be hitting this beat (oh)
I don't care about the one that got away
I just want to make a memory from today
Just remember, Until September, we're gon' be singing this song (oh)

[Post-Chorus]
Oh—(hey), oh—(hey), oh—
We're gonna be singing this song (oh!)
Oh—(hey), oh—(hey), oh—
We're gonna be singing this song (oh!)
