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

We should be friends I don't know you well but I know that look On losing sleep and gaining weight On pain and shame and crazy trains Oh, we should be friends If your mind's as cluttered as your kitchen sink If your heart's as empty as your diesel tank

You're gonna be mine, little girl You've been through 18 years of pain I'm gonna give you a love, child You've been mistreated, little girl Even if I can't have you by my side You won't feel bad again But I swear, I swear it'll be outgrown But I swear,

On the noose around your neck And I'll find strength in pain And I will change my ways I'll know my name as it's called again But I will hold on hope and I won't let you choke It's empty in the valley of your heart The sun, it rises slowly as you walk

You might love me again Love me again You might love me again, no You might love me, ooh You might love me again, oh, oh Never meant to cause you trouble Never meant to cause you pain I never knew it'd play out this way Maybe one more time of a good time

We should be friends I don't know you well but I know that look On losing sleep and gaining weight On pain and shame and crazy trains Oh, we should be friends If your mind's as cluttered as your kitchen sink If your heart's as empty as your diesel tank

And how I'd love to go to Paris again (again, again, again and again) She said hello, she was letting me know We shared friends in Soho She is a pain in the nose And I'm a pain in women's clothes And you're a walking overdose in a great coat And so she

I will live again, you'll see Tomorrow's not scaring me Far away from yesterday Just take this pain away Or is it me? Look in the mirror Where are we? I don't know

We should be friends I don't know you well but I know that look On losing sleep and gaining weight On pain and shame and crazy trains Oh, we should be friends If your mind's as cluttered as your kitchen sink If your heart's as empty as your diesel tank
