August 12 Lyrics

I had a dream that you were gone, and you were gone

I'm having dreams in the home where I grew up

Where we fell in love

Don't wanna dream 'cause I'll only see your face

But I wanna dream 'cause I know I'll see your face

I miss your light of day

Oh, to go back to where we started

Thirteen, just glad to know you

Well, things change a little over time

That twelfth night of August in the light of the parking lot

Spinning round in circles, holding me close

Light in your eyes

Told you I loved you, and I felt free

I don't know if you remember

But I hope you do

Back inside the car, down toward 611

Plain, pure euphoria

Disclosing my thoughts, love, you met my stare

And stopped at the red light, you held it there

Said I'd remember the day forever

I don't know if you remember

But I pray you do

Still see it on my own, now, love

I'd ask if you remember, but I know you do

Only ever downhill from there

130 miles away now

Riding round in a new town, get your club on with no leash on, baby

Chipping away at something as beautiful as you

Chipping away at someone who showed you nothing but love

Goddamn it, I should probably hate you

Just can't seem to find it in myself

Fuck off with the "you know I care" shit

I don't doubt you, but you're killing me

Just let me love your memory

Goddamn it, I should probably hate you

Just can't seem to find it in myself

Fuck off with the "you know I care" shit

I don't doubt you, but you're killing me

Just let me love your memory

I wanna go back to where we started
