There's a girl back home I used to know
Who cried herself to sleep every night
We all knew

We all knew
Only girl who would ever compromise
Strike a deal with the devil to save a night

We all knew
We all knew
She tried to call me a month ago

To sing me a song that she just wrote
But I wasn't home
I should've known

That time had taken its toll
She had no place to go
They found her body resting by the river

I never said goodbye
I wish I would have tried
I couldn't hear her cries

As she filled her veins with lies
Until she saw the light
I remember we would hide behind the trees

Smoking cigarettes until our throats would bleed
Those were the days
Those were the days

Yeah
Never scared
Never worried that the summer would end

Invincible to every sharp end
We drove so fast
Thought it would last

But time had taken its toll
She had no place to go
They found her body resting by the river

Oh, I never said goodbye
I wish I would have tried
I couldn't hear her cries

As she filled her veins with lies
Until she saw the light
Madeline! Madeline!

You will be remembered
Madeline! Madeline!
We still have September

Madeline! Madeline!
We'll see you on the other side
(Ohh Ohh) Die!

If I could turn back time
I'd find a way to remind you
That somehow your could try to give in

And fight the good fight
Oh you didn't have to die
You filled your viens with lies

My precious Madeline
