    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🙊🙉🙈

    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.

    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

    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.

    I'm gunna clear some stuff up... The video has a pretty obvious meaning about a dude going to war and him not know if he is going to die and his girlfriend waiting. However the song has a different meaning. While many think this is about 9/11, and I do bet that people who have family that died in 9/11 listen to this song. This song is actually about depression about Billie's (lead singer) father who died 20 years ago from 2005 ( I belive that's when the album released). This is from the lyrics: 20 years have gone so fast. His dad (Andrew Armstrong) died of Esophageal cancer in 1983,which is around the '20' years. For the 7 years... In 1990 tre cool came in the band and that is when they recorded Kerplunk. Maybe when he first started Writing the song. Summer has come and pass is a reference to the summer his dad had the cance, the innocent will never last is a reference to his father who died. His dad obviously died in September. During the funeral he went home crying and locked himself in his room. When his mom knocked he said: wake me up when September ends and hence the title. Then the lyrics as my memory rests but never forgets what I lost; those lyrics are a reference that humans can't forget pain and suffering. Then the little paragraph about the rain falling from the stars and being drenched in my pain... Well if any of you have been depressed then that's kinda what it feels like. Last the lyrics ring out the bells again like we did when spring began could mean that the spring after the incident, they had mourning. So yeah full definition of WMUWSE

    It is such a beautiful piece of storytelling, it's so simple yet so complicated, so beautiful yet so scary...I mean they literally showed a full story in just seven minutes whereas filmmakers nowadays can't even represent that so satisfyingly even in 2-3 hours movies! Just loved it!

      It's funny you pointed that out. That's always been my favourite part. While this is one of the most moving songs ever recorded, I didn't much like the video. Tre getting in that last fill and then diving from his set was great though.

    I really hope everyone knows the backstory to this song. Billie Joe's father died of cancer on September 10th, 1982. 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 bestest friend died when I was 8 and he was 9. Drowned in my pool in September 1991. One of those (as a kid) “he’s coming up, right?” Adults watching us and it literally happened so fast. September is still the month where I can’t ever pull it together. I cried for what felt like days and days and at his funeral, I couldn’t cry. But seeing his (completely single) mama at the end of his funeral destroyed me. We all put red roses on his casket and said our goodbyes. At the end, she put a white rose… and she suddenly 4:08 cleared all the roses and tried to open his casket and kept screaming “why did you leave me!!!!!” A moment that could never leave my head or my heart. I visit him anytime I’m in town and hurt… I’m sorry he didn’t get to grow up… he didn’t get to go to prom, he didn’t get to have kids or get married. I was so close yet so far when he passed. My bestest friend, Eddie. I loved you buddy. Red ninja turtle forever ❤

    Song has a lot of significance for me. Right after September ended in 2023 my intestines became infected and I was sedated so they could remove them. I almost died of blood loss during the surgery and I’m still struggling with the effects of only having 18 inches of small intestine today. This song reminds me of waking up after all of the hallucinations and figuring out what happened to me.

    Seriously I bet Billie Joe's father would be so proud of his son for creating such a beautiful masterpiece.

    A great friend was murdered yesterday at night... He introduced me to this amazing song 15 years ago and since that day this is my favorite...
    Man I will really miss you... Thank you for Everything.

    My father passed away a month ago and this is the song I think of. I'll always remember my summer spent with him.

    This year I'm finally going to realize one of my biggest dreams, go to a Green Day concert, most of their songs have my age or are older than me, but every week I listened to them when I was young because of my father, now it's time to repay the favour to my old man, thank you dad for showing me the best band♥️
