Lyrics
august
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Salt air and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers of: Are you sure?
Never have I ever before
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Your back beneath the Sun
Wishing I could write my name on it
Will you call when you're back at school?
I remember thinking I had you
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Back when we were still changing for the better
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Cancel plans just in case you'd call
And say: Meet me behind the mall
So much for summer love and saying us
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
You weren't mine to lose, oh
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
'Cause you were never mine
Never mine
But do you remember?
Remember when I pulled up and said: Get in the car
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
Meet me behind the mall
(Remember when I pulled up and said: Get in the car)
(And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?)
(Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
(Meet me behind the mall)
Remember when I pulled up and said: Get in the car
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (for the hope of it all)
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
(For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
