Salt air
And the rust on your door
I never needed anything more Whispers
Of are you sure
Never have I ever before
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
Your back Beneath the sun
Wishing I could write my name on it
Will you call when youre back at school I remember thinking I had you
Chorus
Back when we were still changing for the better Wanting was enough
For me it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Cancel plans just in case youd call And say meet me behind the mall
So much for summer love and saying us Cause you werent mine to lose
You werent mine to lose No
Chorus
Cause you were never mine Never mine
Do you remember
Remember when I pulled up And said get in the car
And then canceled my plans just in case youd call
Back when I was living 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 youd call)
(Back when I was living 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 youd call
Back when I was living 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
