September -- Daughtry

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
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

(**) 

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
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

  The album's title comes from a line in this song, which draws on the singer's experiences growing up with his brother in the tiny North Carolina town of Lasker.  "There's a line in the song that says we knew we had to leave this town, which stems from my childhood. I knew in order to do anything big with my life I would have to leave that town that I was in. It probably had a population of 100 or so."                                                        (songfacts)
