The innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends

Like my [bad word] to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

 [bad word] the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
 [bad word] who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer [bad word] and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

 [bad word] the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
 [bad word] who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer [bad word] and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my [bad word] to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
