Daughtry - September Meaning

Song Released: 2010

September Lyrics

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

Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never...

But besides how I can relate to the song, I think the lyrics were meant to say one last goodbye.

To me, this is the singer looking back to his first love a few years ago. He fell completely in love with her that summer and he wanted it to last forever. They had nothing but love and wanted to make the best of the relationship. When the fell in love, they knew that eventually they would have to leave each other for some reason but they were taking it day by day. The time came for them to separate at the end of that summer. They tried their hardest to keep the relationship going but they just couldn't. They came to a realization that there was no way to keep the love alive when they were so far apart, so they moved on. Each year when summer comes around, though, he remembers how perfect that one summer was and how it can never be just as it was. And although they couldn't stay together, he looks back to think about how things could have been and that everything turned out alright after all and he can officially move on from her now.
