[Verse 1]
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast

[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
