how the time passed away
all the trouble that we gave
and all those days we spent out by the lake
has it all gone to waste?
all the promises we made,
one by one they vanish just the same.
of all the things i still remember
summer's never looked the same
the years go by and time just seems to fly by
but the memories remain.
in the middle of september
we'd still play 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
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
we reach for something that's already gone yeah
of all the things i remember
summer's never looked the same
the year's go by and time just seems to fly by
but the memories remain.
in the middle of september
we'd still play 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
we knew we had to leave this town
but we never knew when we never knew how
we would end up here the way we are
yeah we knew we had to leave this town
but we never knew when and we never knew how
of all the things i still remember
summer's never looked the same
the years go by and time just seems to fly by
but the memories remain.
in the middle of september
we'd still play 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
