August Heat lyrics

Lyrics from Livestream

[Verse 1]
She knew this town was small from the beginning
Turn eighteen and they start disappearing
Friday night in a parking lot
Sitting for hours in her car, curfew permitting
They were two kids with a bad sense of humor
She’d laugh at him and he’d laugh at the future
They were just friends who spoke like more
It made sense, so what was the distance for?

[Chorus]
She goes: I’ve been running it back in my memory
Front seat, thinking that you just might save me
August heat probably made mе crazy
I’ve been waiting for you to come get mе

[Verse 2]
She held the line like any good soldier
Flirting with the edge, but never stepping over
His mom would say he couldn’t do better
And he’d brush it off laughing like, “Who’s gonna tell her?”
They broke free and left the state
Now they make plans on summer breaks
He recalls the last things she said
And she feels seventeen again, thinking
[Chorus]
I’ve been running it back in my memory
Front seat, thinking that you just might save me
August heat probably made me crazy
I’ve been waiting for you to come get me

[Bridge]
Don’t keep it in, baby, let it out
Be honest, we’re both big kids now
Don’t keep it in, baby, let it out
Be honest, we’re both big kids now
Don’t keep it in, baby, let it out
Be honest, we’re both big kids now
Don’t keep it in, baby, let it out
You start, and I’ll follow suit now

[Chorus: Spoken]
She goes: I’ve been running it back in my memory
Five years falling and hoping you’d catch me
All this heat is just making me crazy
Okay, wait, no no no, I’m starting over
I think what I’m trying to say is

[Chorus]
I’ve been running out back in my memory
Front seat, thinking that you just might save me
August heat probably made me crazy
I’ve been waiting for you to come get me
