august

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
 Wishin' I could write my name on it
 Will you call when you're back at school?
 I remember thinkin' 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 changin' 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, no
 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
