LYRICS

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, mine

‘Cause you were never mine, never mine
Do you remember?
Remember when I pulled up
And said get in the ar
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)
(“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)
For the hope of it all
For the hope of it all
For the hope of it all
For the hope of it all
