August Echoes

“Summer’s almost over…”

August fading through my hands

Like smoke slipping through the wind

Pictures buried in my phone

Places we said we’d never leave

Your laugh still lives inside my head

Like a song I can’t forget

Funny how the warmest nights

Leave the coldest memories

Now the beach feels empty

Without your shadow next to mine

August echoes in my room

Every sunset leads to you

Even when the colors fade

I still hear your name

We were young and temporary

Beautiful but never ready

Now the summer air feels cold

And I’m scared to let it go

Oh-oh

August echoes

Oh-oh

Still won’t let go

Bonfire smoke and city lights

Long drives almost every night

We swore we’d stay the same somehow

But look at us now

Your hoodie still beside my bed

Words I wish I never said

Sometimes love disappears slow

Like the ending of a show

Every memory hits harder

When you know it’s really over

August echoes in my room

Every sunset leads to you

Even when the colors fade

I still hear your name

We were young and temporary

Beautiful but never ready

Now the summer air feels cold

And I’m scared to let it go

“I didn’t know that was the last time…”
