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
Till 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
Now we 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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/w/we_the_kings/august_is_over.html ]
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
I think this song is the story of two people, not expecting to find love on a summer's night, but they do anyways. She was shy, and he was confident. They had the summer of their lives, but soon enough summer was over and they would never see each other again. They wish that their vacation could last forever, so they wouldn't have to leave each other behind and go back home. Sounds mega cheesy but that's just what i think. :)
I can relate to this song so much. My boyfriend and i are going on 10 months long distance. I'm in texas he's in philly. We fell in love last summer and he left this is so us. I won't try to sound cliche but its true. I hope that all you "long distancers" keep faith and let god drive your relationship. (:
I honestly think this song is amazing me and my girlfriend pretty much had this happen but we made it through even though its hard to believe she is in 8th grade and im in 10 but she really made me fall in love during summer hopefully we make it through this summer. =]
I think its about these two college bound students who fall in love. "till the night you drove me wild. And you crashed into me" and then when they have to go seperate ways " breathe in deep and say goodbye" it probably signifies those deep breathes you take before you start crying and they don't want to see each other cry making them more depressed. " you're almost gone. You're good as gone. August is over" it pretty much says that they can't do anything about it and school begins again in september and that is the usual time college starts.
Its the story of two people who find summer love. But distance and summer tear them apart at the end of august. This just happened to me. I still talk to him but its so hard b/c it hurts so much to know that you cant see him. We both don't feel ready for a long distance relationship but i miss him terribly. Im just waiting for the day he finds another girl, someone better, and someone he can have. Or even worse, one day he becomes tired of me and i become an annoyance instead. It hurts to know itll come, but it hurts even more to know that you cant do anything about it.
This song means alot to me cuz like i am going out with this kid and we both know that our relationship is probably going to end at the end of august so this song is practically like the story of our relationship
I think it's saying that it was summer, and they both met eachother, and didn't mean to but they feel in love. They were so focused on eachother they didn't realize that they had to leave eventually, and when the final days came, they tried to have it be normal, but they couldn't. And when they left, it was over, all because summer just had to end.
I had this happen, and i sent this song to him, i cried for like an hour
I think its about summer love torn apart by simply, summer. They both want it to stay the same but it just cant. It happens to alot of people... It happend to me.
I think its about summer love, where you think you find the one thats right for you and when you loose them, its really hard to get over, and it makes it a summer to remember.
