[Verse 1]
            
  Salt air, an

              
d the rust on 

     
your door
              
I never needed

          
 anything more
            
  Whispers of 

          
"Are you sure?

"
              
Never have I e

      
ver before


[Chorus]
    
But I can see 

us lost in the

 memory
             
August slipped

              
 away into a m

          
oment in time
              
'Cause it was 

        
never mine
    
And I can see 

us twistin' in

 bedsheets
             
August sipped 

              
away like a bo

          
ttle of wine
              
'Cause you wer

          
e never mine


[Verse 2]
             
Your back bene

         
ath the sun
              
Wishin' I coul

              
d write my nam

  
e on it
             
Will you call 

             
when you're ba

      
ck at school?
              
I remember thi

        
nkin' I had yo

u


[Chorus]
    
But I can see 

us lost in the

 memory
             
August slipped

              
 away into a m

          
oment in time
              
'Cause it was 

        
never mine
    
And I can see 

us twistin' in

 bedsheets
             
August sipped 

              
away like a bo

          
ttle of wine
              
'Cause you wer

Canceled plans

And say "Meet

So much for su

saying "Us"
              
'Cause you wer
