[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 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 slipped

              
 away like a b

          
ottle of wine
              
'Cause you wer

          
e never mine


[Verse 2]

          
You're back be

        
neath 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 slipped

              
 away like a b

             
ottle of wine
              
'Cause you wer

          
e never mine


   


[Bridge]

          
Back when we w

              
ere still chan

         
gin' for the b

etter
              
Wanting was en

  
ough
              
For me, it was

  
 enough
              
To live for th

   
e hope of it a

ll
              
Canceled plans

           
 just in case 


you'd call
           
And say "Meet 

me behind the 

mall"
              
So much for su

      
mmer love and 

saying "Us"
              
'Cause you wer

          
en't mine to l

    
ose
           
You weren't mi

              
ne to lose, oh


[Chorus]


But I can see

And I can see

 bedsheets
         
August slipped

ottle of wine
              
'Cause you wer

          
e never mine


[Outro]

          
'Cause you wer

           
e never mine
       
Never mine
              
But do you rem
