Lyrics
How the time passed away, all the trouble that we gave
Reflecting on the passage of time and the challenges faced.
And all those days we spent out by the lake
Recalling days spent at the lake.
Has it all gone to waste? All the promises we made
Questioning if the time and promises made have been wasted.
One by one they vanish just the same
Noting the gradual disappearance of promises.
Of all the things I still remember
Recollection of specific memories.
Summer's never looked the same
Contrasting current perceptions of summer with past experiences.
The years go by and time just seems to fly
Expressing the swift passage of time.
But the memories remain
Emphasizing the enduring nature of memories.
In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Describing activities in September, highlighting carefree attitudes.
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Emphasizing the risk-taking spirit during those times.
Reflecting now on how things could've been
Contemplating alternate outcomes and reflecting on the worthiness of past choices.
It was worth it in the end
Concluding that the experiences were worthwhile in the end.
Now it all seems so clear, there's nothing left to fear
Expressing clarity in the present, free from fear.
So we made our way by finding what was real
Describing the journey toward authenticity and realness.
Now the days are so long that summer's moving on
Noting the prolonged days as a metaphor for the passing of time.
We reach for something that's already gone, yeah
Expressing a longing for something already gone.
Of all the things I still remember
Reiterating the impact of memories on perceptions of summer.
Summer's never looked the same
Continuing to contrast past and present summers.
The years go by and time just seems to fly
Reiterating the theme of time passing quickly.
But the memories remain
Emphasizing the lasting nature of memories.
In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Recalling playing in the rain during September.
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Highlighting the carefree attitude and potential gains during that time.
Reflecting now on how things could've been
Reflecting on past choices and potential alternative paths.
It was worth it in the end
Reaffirming the value and worthiness of past experiences.
Yeah, we knew we had to leave this town (we knew we had to leave this town)
Acknowledging the necessity to leave the past behind.
But we never knew when and we never knew how (we never knew how)
Expressing uncertainty about when and how the departure would happen.
We would end up here the way we are
Reflecting on the current situation and how they arrived there.
Yeah, we knew we had to leave this town (we knew we had to leave this town)
Reiterating the need to leave the old town behind.
But we never knew when and we never knew how (we never knew how)
Reiterating uncertainty about the timing and method of departure.
Of all the things I still remember
Recalling various aspects of the past.
Summer's never looked the same
Continuing to contrast past and present perceptions of summer.
The years go by and time just seems to fly
Reiterating the theme of time passing quickly.
But the memories remain
Emphasizing the enduring nature of memories.
In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Recalling playing in the rain during September.
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Highlighting the carefree attitude and potential gains during that time.
Reflecting now on how things could've been
Reflecting on past choices and potential alternative paths.
It was worth it in the end
Reaffirming the value and worthiness of past experiences.
