august (the long pond studio sessions)

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 twisted in bedsheets August sipped away like a bottle of wine 'Cause you were never mine

Your 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 twisted in bedsheets August sipped 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 Cancel plans just in case you'd call And say you 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, no

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 twisted in bedsheets August sipped 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)
