Song #11 on Green Day's American Idiot CD. It is NOT about returning to school, this song is about Billie Joe Armstrong's father dying. This is the first song in which he confronted this issue, and I think it probably did him some good. However, I don't know him personally, so I can't say for sure. Green Day dedicated this song to the Hurricane Katrina victims at the concert I went to. A damn good song too.

A great and emotional song by Green Day, about 4 topics.
1. Billie Joe's Father Dying
2. 9/11
3. Hurricane Katrina

If you haven't listened to the song, you should.

1. A song by Green Day which is influenced by Billie Joe Armstrong growing up without his father. His father died on 10 September 1982, and Billie Joe locked himself in the cupboard when he heard the news and said to his mum "Wake Me Up When September Ends". That is the origin of the title.
2. The only song that has ever made me cry.

1.Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my fathers 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
2. I cried listening to this song 2 weeks ago.
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my fathers 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

A song by Green Day about not wanting the summer to end and having to deal with going back to our normal lives, time going by too fast, etc. Things that are on your mind before school starts. Basically the only good song on Green Day's new CD because everyone can relate to it and you can actually understand what Billie Joe is saying which is hard to do on most Green Day songs.

A beautiful song by Green Day on their Album, American Idiot. The lyrics were written by Billie Joe Armstrong,
And is Basically About his Father dying of Lung cancer when Billie Joe was only ten, And how he grieved his loss. Which was a great loss. This is one of the most meaningful songs we have got in today's music in My opinion

a song that's really emotional originally written about billie's dad dying, NOT about summer or sept. 11 or the war in iraq or katrina BUT can be interpreted that way if you want.
a really great song but is becoming the next boulevard of broken dreams. now every radio station in the country plays this song to shit and every preppy poser idiot is screaming "i heart greenday!11!!111111 this is teh bestest song eva!!!!!! im totally teh biggest greenday fan eVa111!" when they only know this song and BoBD.
damn green day for being so mainstream.

1. green day song from American Idiot about a boy and a girl where the boy has to go to the army. In reality, this song was influenced by Billie Joe Armstrong growing up without a dad, who died when he was only 10.
2. what people might say if someone they knew died in 9/11
