Salt air and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Oh 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
'cause 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
You were never mine
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
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
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
