[Verse 1]
        
     Salt air 

/           
   and the rus

          
t on your door
              
I never needed

          
 anything more
          
Whispers    of

          
 “Are you sure

?”

“Never have I ever before”

[Chorus]
    
But I    can s

ee us lost in 

the memory
          
August slipped

              
 away into a m

          
oment in time,

              
 because it wa

        
s never mine
    
And I    can s

ee us twisted 

in bedsheets
          
August sipped 

              
away like a  b

          
ottle of wine,

              
 because you w

          
ere never mine

[Verse 2]
         
     Your back

          
    beneath th

            
e sun;  wishin

              
g I could writ

             
e my name on i


t
             
Will you call 

/           
   when you’re

         
 back at schoo

l?

I remember thinking I had you

[Chorus]
    
But I       ca

n see us lost 

in the memory
        
August slipped

              
 away into a m

          
oment in time,

              
 because it wa

        
s never mine
    
And I       ca

n see us twist

ed in bedsheet

s
        
August sipped 

              
away like a bo

          
ttle of wine, 

              
because you we

         
re never mine

    

[Bridge]
         
     Back when

             
 we were still

              
 changing for 

            
the better, wa

          
nting was enou

gh
              
For me, it was

 
 enough
              
To live for th

             
e hope of it a

              
ll, cancel pla

           
ns just in cas

e you’d call a

nd say, “Meet 

me behind the 

mall”
            
  So much for 

             
summer love an

              
d saying “us,”

              
 because you w

         
eren’t mine to

 
 lose
           
   You weren’t

          
 mine to lose,

 
 no

[Chorus]
    
But I can see 

us lost in the

 memory
        
August slipped

              
 away into a m

            
oment in time,

              
 because it wa

        
s never mine
    
And I can see 

us twisted in 

bedsheets
        
August sipped 

              
away like a bo

            
ttle of wine, 

              
because you we

         
re never mine

[Outro]
             
 Because you w

          
ere never mine

        
, never mine

 Do you rememb
