September
Chris Daughtry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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, yeah
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
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
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
Chris Daughtry's song September is a reflection on the passage of time and the memories that stay with us. The lyrics paint a picture of days spent by the lake, making promises that seem to disappear as time goes by. The lyrics "Has it all gone to waste? All the promises we made, one by one they vanish just the same" suggest a feeling of disillusionment with the passing of time.
The chorus of the song is a nostalgic look back on earlier days: "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." Despite the fact that time passes quickly and memories fade, the memories themselves are valuable, and the writer concludes that it was all "worth it in the end."
The lyrics also touch on the idea of leaving one's hometown and moving on to something new. The writer knows that it's time to leave, but isn't sure where life will take them. "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."
Overall, September is a poignant song that speaks to human experience in a relatable way. Its themes of time, memory, and change are universal, and the lyrics are evocative enough to inspire reflection in listeners.

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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, yeah
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Yeah, 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
We would end up here the way we are
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

I feel like Chris Daughtry is one of the most underrated singers. He has an amazing voice and an ability to make you feel strong emotion to his music. Here I am what 11 years later still listening to this. It just popped in my head tonight randomly haven’t heard it in years

@slaviana77
Man, the people is very very different and Chris Daughtry is not underrated, he is really rated without lie and he is incomparable unique. Much another singers is overrated by software, not by people, but they will stay musician cripple. Greetings from Bulgaria.
