Verse 1
Salt air, and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers of Are you sure?
A never have I ever before
But I can see us lost in the memory
Chorus
August slipped away into a moment in time
Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
Cause you were never mine
Verse 2
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
Bridge
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 sipped away like a bottle of wine
Cause you were never mine
Verse 3
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
Outro
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 twistin' in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
Cause you were never mine
