[Verse 1]
 salt air, and the rust on your door

I never needed anything more

 whispers, of "Are you sure?"

"never have I ever before"..

[Chorus]
 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..

[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..

[Chorus]
 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..

[Music] 
                     

[Bridge]
 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..

[Chorus]
 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?..

[Coda]
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)..
