Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last [The world is going through a though time at the moment]
wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast [Obvious one]
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again [Floods and hurricanes]
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets [The 9/11 phrase has become Never forget] what I lost
wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars [Celebritys downfall]
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

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my father's come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends

Pretty freaky

[Firewire]

Yep

[xDramatick]

I think that's just coincidence.
Billie Joe wrote it about his father.

[Xander]

Not really, the song was written a couple of years after september 11th.

[Ruth]

What's freaky about it?

[Hugo]

[Tom]

To be honest you could probably take any lyrics and adapt them into current affairs

[*mazedsalv**]

Wasnt this song written in 2004 or 2005?

[Shaun]

Seven years is obvious how? It was released in like...2004, 3 years after 9/11.

[Sunny_01]

I think it is just a case of managing to manipulate the words to fit current events.
