"August Is Over"

Sometimes, "August" and "summer" are more than just pleasant times of year. They represent the parts of life that are perfect and that feel...good. It's been happening over the last few weeks, and I even said the honeymoon phase was done, but I think officially, Ian's and my August is over.

"Say a prayer,
The summer nights are dead.
The fall is coming.
We were careless hearts
Who got caught up in this

You were shy,
To the night you drove me wild;
And you crashed into me.
And I won't lie,
I wish it lasted a lifetime.

Please stay-ay-ay,
Won't you stay-ay-ay
Tonight?

Breathe in deep
And say goodbye.
The saddest song
I'll ever write
For anyone, anytime.
Breathe in deep
Before I say
'I can feel us slip away.'
You're almost gone.
You're good as gone.
August is over.

No wait,
'Cause August had to end
All our bags are packed.
Just two broken hearts
That got caught up in this.

I deny
That tomorrow you'll be gone
And so far from me.
It's something strange,
Never love the same way.

Please stay-ay-ay,
Won't you stay-ay-ay
Tonight?

Breathe in deep
And say goodbye.
The saddest song
I'll ever write
For anyone, anytime.
Breathe in deep
Before I say
'I can feel us slip away.'
You're almost gone.
You're good as gone.

We can try to drown it out,
But it never stops breathing.
We can take it all in,
But it never slows down.
We've come down from that cloud.

Well say-ay-ay
What you gotta say-ay-ay.
Please say-ay-ay
What you gotta say.
Whoa-a-oh-oh!
Whoa-a-oh-oh!

Breathe in deep
And say goodbye.
The saddest song
I'll ever write
For anyone, anytime.
Breathe in deep
Before I say
'I can feel us slip away.'
You're almost gone.
You're good as gone.
August is over.
We're not the reason.
August is over."
