This song is sad - the singer is expressing his feelings for someone he still loves dearly, but knows that having a relationship with that person will not work out.
"One thought of you is all it takes
To leave the rest of the world behind"
I love this part, because it shows deeply he has fallen in with this girl, and she is truly the only thing that he can think about. She is his obsession, as he once was, too. She means the world to him, and once he meant the same to her, and the most painful part is that he knows this - and he knows that she doesn't feel this way anymore, even though he wishes that she did. This is shown in these lyrics as well:
"And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back
But I know you did"
The title of this song is "A Lonely September." This can be taken literally, as in: it is now September, and he is this situation. However, a more metaphorical meaning I drew from it was this: In school, businesses and generally many people's lives, September is the month of beginnings, where the cycle of their life begins anew. He is back to a beginning, when he was single and didn't have his love, and it is a lonely feeling.
This song has an incredible amount of meaning to me. The title itself has vast meaning, both literal and figurative. It is September, and the person that I loved, and still love, broke up with me. A lonely month indeed - and a lonely way to begin another year at college.
The lyrics feel like they are perfect for us - because I know that she loved me once, loved me so much. I meant everything to her. I was her world. In short, I was everything that she still is to me, now.
"I'm sittin' here tryin' to convince myself
that you're not the one for me
but the more I think, the less I believe it
and the more I want you here with me"

One day, I'll believe it.
