[Verse 1]
        
Salt air, and 

              
the rust on yo

   
ur door
              
I never needed

 
 anything more

-or
        
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   

         
beneath the su


n
              
Wishin' I coul

  
d write my nam

e on it
             
  Will you cal

         
l   when you'r

          
e back at scho


ol?
           
I remember thi

[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

'Cause you wer

[Bridge]
             
Back when we w

Wanting was en

For me, it was

 
 enough
              
To live for th

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

You weren't mi

But I can see

[Outro]
             
      you were

       
 never mine
      
Never mine
