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 things in life that we planned to do but never completed doing, plans that were made and never fulfilled...
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 as we live out our lives things never seem to remain the same, as time goes on it seems as though it simply flies by but no matter what, our memories remain and our memories are what keeps us going, remembering who we are and who we've been...
In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain throughout life we still have those little moments where we return to our youth and simply 'play out in the rain...'
Nothing to lose but everything to gain there are many hardships in life, sometimes we hit rock bottom and realize we have nothing left to loose, THIS is when some come to the realization that God can pull you through and stand you back up on your feet, now knowing that you have everything in the world to gain, for most however this is known as a 'mid life crisis' ha...
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end however, when you think back on those little moments in life, those little moments that you will cherish forever, that your life, and your mistakes we 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 once you come to realize who you are and what you were meant to be, everything seems clear, you realize that life is worth something, and even though you've hit rock bottom, there is a light at the end of that tunnel. No matter how many rocks you have to climb and branches you have to burn, once you ' find out what is real, there is nothing left to fear'...
Now the days are so long that summer's moving on now life is not such as rushed, but every little moment enjoyed...
We reach for something that's already gone, yeah but no matter what your past can't not be re-done
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 you knew it was coming
But we never knew when and we never knew how but it was only a dream
We would end up here the way we are now it is a realization
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 and so it was...
A huge thank you to singer/songwriter Chris Daughtry and songwriter Josh Steely for these beautiful lyrics.
Well I am one day closer to moving in, and I'm starting to realize how much I'm going to miss this place. It is only a small town in the grand ol USA, but it is infact, my home. Its going to be a change for me, my friends, my family... all of us. I was talking to my friend on facebook, and she was saying how she was going to be all alone back home, because she is going to our local college. It really made me stop and think about everything I'm leaving behind. I could have taken the easy way out like pretty much my whole graduating class did by going next door to Kennesaw State, or North Georgia. Not saying I'm better by no means.. of course not. I am gonna admit, that sometimes, just sometimes, I regret taking the 2 hour drive away from home, when I could have went only 45 minutes down the road in 2 different directions and been at oen of two great schools with plenty of classmates and old crushes, but no. I had to be different, and in the long run I believe it to be best for me. However, that doesn't change the fear it excites inside oneself to learn that everything is changing and the life you once knew is now going to be over a hundred miles away from you. I am defninetly convinced that those who are not going as far away from home, THOSE were infact, the smart ones. Indeed. But that doesn't matter. As it turns out, I am one of two idiots from my graduating class, journeying of to UGA, and I'm proud to call it my new home. Although there were a few others going to other splotches and blimps in the radar, known as 'other school.' Ha! This song, 'September,' reminds me of the changes I'm about to make, the friends I'm going to loose, but also , the friends I'm going to make and the life change I'm going to endure. Wish me luck. I have my foot in the doorway and I'm not stopping now!
