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
