Lyrics
Stay with me through September
Request for companionship during September
The summer didn't last
Acknowledgment that the summer has ended
And there ain't nobody in new york city that could need you half as bad
Expressing a strong need for the person's presence in New York City
Stay with me through September
Repetition of the request to stay through September
The nights are getting cold
Noting the cold nights approaching
Old man winter gonna be here soon and the cattle still ain't sold
Highlighting the imminent arrival of winter and unsold cattle
Stay with me through September
Reiteration of the plea to stay through September
Yeah I know there ain't much to do
Acknowledging the limited activities in the area
And I guess I did my share of starving in the city, I was young once too
Reflecting on past experiences of struggling in the city during youth
I can picture how you're living
Imagining the person's current living situation
In a tiny fourth floor flat
Describing a small fourth-floor apartment in the city
Well there's times that a thousand acres in the rocky mountains can't compete with that
Comparing the appeal of urban living to the vastness of the Rocky Mountains
Stay with me through September
Repeating the request to stay through September
I know the flight's already booked
Acknowledging that the person has plans to leave
But I couldn't let you go and leaving like this without giving it a second look
Expressing hesitation and the desire for a second look before departing
Stay with me through September
Reaffirming the plea to stay through September
Yeah the pace is kinda slow
Describing the slow pace of life in the current location
And there ain't much glamor on the old back quarter
Noting the lack of glamour on the old back quarter
Well I can picture how you're living
Revisiting the mental image of the person's living situation
In a tiny fourth floor flat
Repeating the description of the tiny fourth-floor apartment
I guess there's times that a thousand acres in the rocky mountains can't compete with that
Reiterating the comparison between urban living and the Rocky Mountains
Stay with me through September
Repetition of the plea to stay through September
Summer didn't last
Recalling the end of summer
And there ain't nobody in new york city that could need you half as bad
Expressing the strong need for the person in New York City
I can picture how you're living
Reimagining the person's living situation in the Lower East Side
In a lower east side flat
Describing a Lower East Side flat
I guess there's times that a thousand acres in the rocky mountains can't compete with that
Reiterating the comparison between urban living and the Rocky Mountains
