Summer [bad word] and passed 
 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
