Summer has come and passed 
The innocent can never last 
Wake me up when September ends 

Like my fathers come to pass 
Seven years has gone so fast 
Wake me up when September ends 

Here comes the rain again 
Falling from the stars 
Drenched in my pain again 
Becoming who we are 

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

Summer has come 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 

Here comes the rain again 
Falling from the stars 
Drenched in my pain again 
Becoming who we are 

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

Summer has come and passed 
The innocent can never last 
Wake me up when September ends 

Like my father's come 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
