This song references Frank Sinatra's September Song:
Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you
which talks about how important it is to find one special person to spend the best parts of your life with.
In this song, the singer starts off talking about the future - the end of his life - and how he will have to handle everything coming to an end. But for now hes following the weather - similar to the seasons that sinatra talks about - which means chapters in ones life.
The most important part of the song though that i think is easily overlooked is how he wants to start a life long loving relationship with a girl. "were a working title for a really long book" is his way of saying their romance will be epic and long lasting and amazing enough to write a novel about.
"when i noticed you watching, well, my hands just shook" is my favorite line. Its him being nervous around her because he has a crush on her. Hes having a hard time getting his courage up to talk to her, but he knows "if it came too easy it wouldnt be worth all the time that it took." That is a similar theme to the Sinatra song which talks about girls that sinatra dates for fun but doesnt really care about:
But if you could examine the goods they bring
They have little to offer but the songs they sing
And the plentiful waste of time of day
His true love, as well as the true love in this song, is a girl whos worth putting time into getting to know her.
