august

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
