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
