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
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
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 living 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 living for the hope of it all
For the hope of it all
