    Lyrics:
    Summer has come and passed
    The innocent can never last
    Wake me up when September ends
    Like my father's come to pass
    Seven years has gone so fast
    Wake me up when September ends
    Here comes the rain again
    Falling from the stars
    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
    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
    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...

      Yup, been haunting me ever since it was released as a single of the album in June of 2005 when I was in my 20's in Iraq. The lose of his father hit my heart as it was super close to how I lost mine. Than the Video was made after I'd done two extended tours and lost the girl, but are kids are now the new gen🙊🙉🙈

    This song was in my 25 year old sons phone. He died on 9-23-2014. His summers will never end. My heart just breaks everyday, but hes never gonna feel pain again. Just love. I've been raising his son, as my grandfather did for me. Hes 9 now and i recognize everyday, hes just like his dad. I got a do-over, but ive give my life for them to grow up together. Honor the tears, they cleanse the soul..

He loved them as much as any kid could at that time. had posters all over his walls. Spiked his hair and started dressing emo. I remember him playing this song.. Different times man. I lost my brother( a stupid heroin overdose) when he was 25 as well in september of 2016...ironic. I could not wait for september end but the truth is, is that the rest of my life I will always have this incident and loss just there. Like always there. Life is jst not the same anymore

    Short story behind the song...
    Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong wrote this song about his father, who died of cancer on September 1, 1982 when Billie was just 10 years old. At his father's funeral, Billie cried, ran home and locked himself in his room. When his mother got home and knocked on the door to Billie's room, Billie simply said, "Wake me up when September ends," hence the title.
    Pretty darn sad but awesome of BJA at the same time.
    If that's true... Is pretty cool.

    Billie, the singer, wrote this about his father who tragically passed away in September when he was 10. He said, “Wake Me Up When September Ends”, to his mother when she checked on him after he ran home from the funeral because he couldn’t handle it. 7 years after his father passed, he joined Green Day, and 20 years after his dad passed, he and Green Day wrote the song.
    People absolutely can joke about this song, I’m just explaining the meaning of the title if anyone is curious.
    Edit: Thank you for all the likes! Green Day fans are the best!

      Yes we did. Green day was one of the only bands that realised we were fighting a war for 10 years, all through their hay day. Yeah, Osama Bin Ladin attacked us, but Billy Joe knew that the U.S was using that as an excuse to send a bunch of kids to die in countries that had nothing to do with that. Armstrong's a smart dude and spoke up about it.

    Lyrics :
    Summer has come and passed
    The innocent can never last
    Wake me up when September ends
    Like my fathers come to pass
    Seven years has gone so fast
    Wake me up when September ends
    Here comes the rain again
    Falling from the stars
    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
    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
    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

    Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong wrote this song about his father, who died of cancer on September 1st, 1982. At his father’s funeral, Billie cried, ran home and locked himself in his room. When his mother got home and knocked on the door to Billie’s room, Billie simply said, “Wake me up when September ends,” hence the title.

      I fuckin hate September. I honestly wish I could sleep through the entire next 4 months, every year.
      My only child passed away back in 2014. Her bday is Sept 11 and it really pains me to live through this every year, now. This year, she'd be 7 years old.
      Unfortunately that will never happen because of her mother's negligence and carelessness. Texting and driving is what caused the death of my child. Her mother was doing it and went off the roadway. The car spun out of control, through a ditch, and into a utility pole right where my daughter was strapped into her car seat. She didn't make it through the night. 5 years later and I still can't deal with it. 😔
      I used to love September. Especially after my daughter was born only 9 days before my bday. For the next 22 months, I looked forward to September. Then it all came crashing down. 😔 I miss her dearly.

At his funeral, little Billie Joe locked himself in his room, and when his mother knocked on his door, all he said was to "wake him up when September ends". Listen to the lyrics, you will understand what the song is about. RIP Andrew Armstrong.

    My dad last away 6 years ago. 2017, December 5th. I was 15 years old. Still miss him everyday. Even on my most toughest days, it hurts even more. I am engaged now with the love of my life and I have been crying about wishing my dad was here to watch me grow and live life.

    I'm 15 years old, I lost my dad may 21st of 2020, not that anyone asked for my story but I feel it's necessary to say this, please don't take life for granted, I know you've probably heard that from a thousand different people but you never think anything of it until something actually happens , I would give my whole life away just to spend one more day with him, he was my best friend, please go hug your parents and tell them how much you love them because that's something I can never do again, I'm sorry if this makes anyone emotional

      Thank you for sharing. I doubt there’s anything anyone could say that will lessen the pain of that event in your life, and I don’t want to say anything hollow, but my advice would be to live like he’s there watching you, and guiding you to a better life even now. I am immensely sorry for your loss, and I hope you’re able to cope as best you can.

      I’m sorry you lost you dad at such a young age, life shouldn’t be like that, I also lost my dad approx 10 years ago why I responded to your comment in the first place and although you may not understand this yet cuz his passing was so recent the pain and heartache I believe is something that lives on with you it just becomes easier to deal with also cuz with me the pain and heartache just wasn’t every day any more after time it came and went with the holidays and memories that popped up here and there so I I hope the best for you and know your dad is watching down on you always parents never stop doing that.😀
