[INTRO — soft piano, ocean ambience]
[Spoken]
“Summer’s almost over…”
[VERSE 1]
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
[PRE-CHORUS]
Now the beach feels empty
Without your shadow next to mine
[soft strings enter]
[CHORUS — emotional vocals]
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
[POST-CHORUS — layered harmonies]
Oh-oh
August echoes
Oh-oh
Still won’t let go
[VERSE 2]
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
[PRE-CHORUS]
Every memory hits harder
When you know it’s really over
[piano build]
[CHORUS — fuller instrumentation]
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
[OUTRO — piano fading softly]
[Spoken quietly]
“I didn’t know that was the last time…”
