Half 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 vanished just the same      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 play out in the rain   Nothing to lose but everything to gain   Reflecting now 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   Reach for something that's already gone   Yeah      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 play out in the rain   Nothing to lose but everything to gain   Reflecting now how things could've been   It was worth it in the end      Yeah we knew we had to lose this time   But we never knew when, and we never knew how   We would end up where we are   Yeah we knew we had to leave this town   But we never knew when, and we never knew how   Never knew anything      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 play out in the rain   Nothing to lose but everything to gain   Reflecting now how things could've been   It was worth it in the end      Hey, yeah, yeah
