August Lyrics
Taylor Swift
Lyrics
Salt air, and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
Never have I ever before
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
You're back beneath the sun
Wishin' I could write my name on it
Will you call when you're back at school?
I remember thinkin' I had you
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Back when we were still changin' for the better
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
And say "Meet me behind the mall"
So much for summer love and saying "Us"
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
You weren't mine to lose, oh
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
'Cause you were never mine
Never mine
But do you remember
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
"Meet me behind the mall"
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
"Meet me behind the mall"
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
(For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
