august lyrics
by damon r.
Salt air, and the rust on your door (For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
I never needed anything more (For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
Whispers of "Are you sure?" (For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
"Never have I ever before" (For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
Your back beneath the sun (For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
Wishin' I could write my name on it (For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
Will you call when you're back at school? (For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
I remember thinkin' I had you (For the hope of it all)
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 mi—
You weren't mine to lose, no
'Cause you were never mine, never mine
(For the hope of it all)
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"
Salt air, and the rust on your door (For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
I never needed anything more (For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
Whispers of "Are you sure?" (For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
"Never have I ever before" (For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
Your back beneath the sun (For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
Wishin' I could write my name on it (For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
Will you call when you're back at school? (For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
I remember thinkin' I had you (For the hope of it all)
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 mi—
You weren't mine to lose, no
'Cause you were never mine, never mine
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
You weren't mine to lose, no
'Cause you were never mine, never mine
