  • 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 Writer/s: Adam Levine, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, John Henry Ryan, Rakim Mayers, Tinashe Sibanda
