September

1. How the time passed away
All the trouble that we gave
And all those day we spent out by the lake
Has it all gone to waste
All the promises we made
One by one they vanished just the same.

[Chorus:]
All the things I still remember
Summers never looked the same
Years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We still played out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end.

2. Now it all seems so clear
There's nothing left to fear
So we made our way by finding what was real
Now the days are so long
That summer's moving on
Reach for something that's already gone.

[Bridge:]
Yeah, We knew we had to leave this town
But we never knew when and we never knew how
We would up here the way we are.

We knew we had to leave this town
But we never knew when and we never knew how.
