[Verse 1]
        
Salt air, and 

              
the rust on yo

   
ur door
              
I never needed

 
 anything more
        
Whispers of "A

      
re you sure?"
             
"Never have I 

#
ever  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 twisted 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 twisted in 

bedsheets
         
August sipped 

              
away like a bo

        
ttle of wine
              
'Cause you wer

        
e never mine

And say, "Meet

So much for su
