1. SEPTEMBER

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
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 still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly
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

Yeah, we knew we had to leave this town
But we never knew when
And 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
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
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


2. WHAT HAVE WE BECOME

All those years
One day changes everything, and
Caught in your life and the passion fades away
Saving for something
That you'll never see in your days
Shutting out everything that you need

(Looking through distorted eyes)
Beautiful disaster
(Adding up a million lies)
So much for "ever after"
Building up your wall
Everything you wanted
Fit the pieces into holes we
Use to crawl away
Giving in or leave it to slide
Now we are what we have become
All the tears
You never thought you’d see the day
When the trappings of your life
Just seem to disappear
Goin' through the vacancy that you leave behind
Not what you were promised,
Not what you believed

(Looking through distorted eyes)
Beautiful disaster
(Adding up a million lies)
So much for "ever after"
Building up your wall
Everything you wanted
Fit the pieces into holes we
Use to crawl away
Finding out the truth
When nothing really matters
Chase the light that's
Blinding even as you crawl away
Giving in or leave it to slide
Now we are what we have become
Another vice to ease your pain
Now you know it's not the way out
Now you know it's not the way out
Not the way out

Building up your wall
Everything you wanted
Fit the pieces into holes we
Use to crawl away
Finding out the truth
When nothing really matters
Chase the light that's
Blinding even as you crawl away
Giving in or leave it to slide
Now we are what we have become
Giving in or leave it 'til now
Now we are what we have become
