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.

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. Canceled 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.

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.
