Lyrics

August 19

I slept
All night
Found death
In life
Let me go

I went out
To zone two
The bus stop
The phone booth

Life just goes so fast
Some things never last
You're breathing down my neck

24 hours I've been waiting for
The uniform you're wearing at the movie store
Everything back then felt so beautiful
This lifestyle could never hold a candle to

The love we had back then
Back when we were friends
Borrowing your pen
The teacher made you cry
He wouldn't shake my hand
I'm glad I met you
So glad I met you
