AUGUST

I love you I loved you my whole life This whole time Now where do I go when I don't know a world without you I don't want to I want you to come back Just give me the number I can call How Time keeps moving But my time is still with you There's so many things we didn't get to do August August was supposed to be different we had our plans for the year I prayed to anyone who'd listen So why aren't you here? And the summer turned to winter And the ocean turned to tears August should have been different You should be here You should be here It's all too concluded The colors diluted Your photos I've been through and through Take me back to last Christmas To your birthday I'll miss it I want to be in the same room with you How The Sun is rising but my sky is tumbling Wonder where you are I'm questioning everything August August was supposed to be different We had our plans for the year I prayed to anyone who'd listen So why aren't you here? And the summer turned to winter And the ocean turned to tears August should have been different You should be here You should be here No words given me consolation It doesn't matter what I do Emptied your walls and decorations They're all in boxes in the room Burned your sweet grass in the hallway Just a way of reaching you I know you're probably with your father I hope you come visit me too Now You're probably flying Somewhere with the stars But it doesn't make it any less hard August August was supposed to be different We had our plans for the year I prayed to anyone who'd listen So why aren't you here? And the summer turned to winter And the ocean turned to tears August should have been different You should be here You should be here

Your car is not parked in the driveway The trees are bare by your house The garden beds still empty Someone else lives there now You're gone And everything I feared of Started to sink in In the sun Even the sun feels different It doesn't warm my skin The city ain't the same Without me driving home to you I slow down the avenue Like I'll see you again The city ain't the same Without me driving home to you All the things we used to do Float in the wind The sign on the door said closing Your favorite restaurant And everything changing slowly But those days are all I've got The city ain't the same Without me driving home to you I slow down the avenue Like I'll see you again The city ain't the same Without me driving home to you All the things we used to do float in the wind I got the radio silent but my thoughts so loud And the streets are crowded but feel so empty now The city ain't the same Without me driving home to you I slow down the avenue Like I'll see you again The city ain't the same Without me driving home to you All the things we used to do float in the wind

Lights low Fighting my way to see you In dreams I wait every night Talking to an empty room As if you are right here with me If I knew Last summer was our last I wouldn't have moved so fast I would have showed you every chance How much I love you Now the cries at night Are they keeping you awake? I'm sorry I can't let go of it yet I feel closer in this pain And it gets too high I can't see past the waves I'm screaming your name stay Your face Your laugh Your voice Your ways I miss you every day Slowly Holding our mother's hand Holding to what we can Praying to God for things we don't understand What now? What am I supposed to do In a world without you And somehow it's still turning like it used to Now the cries at night Are they keeping you awake? I'm so sorry I can't let go of it yet I feel closer in this pain And it gets too high I can't see past the waves I'm screaming your name stay Your face Your laugh Your voice Your ways I miss you every day I miss you
