wake me up when september ends - ACE and NICE

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends.

Adrian watched emotionless as they creminated the body.
A single tear trickled down his cheek.

Like my father’s come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends.

That was seven years ago.
Adrian stared at the 'promise-we'll-be-together-forever' ring.
It would never ring again.

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars.
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are.

Adrian watches the rain hitting the window.
Tears fall silently.
He wanted her by his side.

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost.
Wake me up when September ends.

Life goes on around him.
He is forever haunted of her death.
She could have been saved.
He could have saved her.

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends.

Miles away below ground, a tear falls from a full of despair face.
Nicky wished he could go back and save her.
Save her from Adrian.

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends.

Nicky looks out his window.
He could still hear the scream.
Still see the pain.

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are.

Adrian holds the gun in his hands.
The same gun that killed her.
One shot, and his pain would go away.
He would be together with his lover agian.

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends.

Nicky closed his eyes, trying to block out that day.
All the blood and pain.
He wanted to die.

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends.

Adrian threw the gun across the room.
She would have been ashamed of him.
She wouldn’t have wanted him to kill himself.

Like my father’s come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends.

Nicky stood up.
He knew he needed to move on.
The memories would fade, but the pain would stay.
He had to move on.

Wake me up when September ends.

Adrian walked out his room.
He had to move on.
The pain would stay, but he knew he couldn’t live in the past.

Wake me up when September ends.

Nicky and Adrian had finally moved on.
Grace would have been proud.
There.
