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 fathers 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
this song makes me cry because my mum had cancer. Her treatment finished at the end of septmeber so, all that horrific year, i was waiting for the end of september
I think that sonicgogirl has the best comment. Billie Joe's dad died of cancer when he was 10 and it's amazing how a sad little boys song touched so many peoples hearts. it's the best song ever!!!
aw hollistergirl23 so sad. i listen to it to because me n my bf don't talk anymore i feel ur pain. i was born in august though i still understand. this song is a great song n it's so well writin that it helps people forget their problems. luv green day
This song really makes me cry for a reason... I had a freind that left me at September... right after summer... It really left me shattered... I couldn't help crying to this song when I first heard it. She was my really good friend, and we used to play with eachother... I just hope she can come back. Problem is, I'm Asian, and she's American... so it creates some racial problems. :(
