August, I fear, it's about time
You and I've crossed a line, we've reached a peak
As we watch the day dip into the sea
I wonder, I wonder if you
See what I already feel
We have no time but this, and it's killin' me
I already miss the salt on my skin
I miss the wind and the sound of free will
August, lay your head on my chest
Feel it rip, feel it rip, feel it crack
Under my skin, feel the tide, pulls in and out
It will take you away, take you away my love
♪
August, we lived reckless and wild
We were foolish and young and so full of life
"Time is fleetin'," you say
Time is fleetin', but I think it's okay
Oh, August, lay your head on my chest
Feel it rip, feel it rip, feel it crack
Under my skin, feel the tide, pulls in and out
It will take you away, take you away my love
Under my skin, feel it rip
Under my skin, feel it crack
Under my skin
Under my skin
Under my skin, feel the tide
Under my skin, pulls in and out
Under my skin
Under my skin
Under my skin, miss the salt, miss the wind
Miss the sound of free will
Under my skin
