Berikut lirik lagu August Taylor Swift:

Salt air, and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers of Are you sure?
Never have I ever before

But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
Cause you were never mine

Your back beneath the sun
Wishin I could write my name on it
Will you call when youre back at school?
I remember thinkin I had you

But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time

Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
Cause you were never mine

Back when we were still changin for the better
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Cancel plans just in case youd call
And say, Meet me behind the mall
So much for summer love and saying us
Cause you werent mine to lose
You werent mine to lose, no

But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
Cause you were never mine
Cause you were never mine, never mine

But do you remember?
Remember when I pulled up and said, Get in the car
And then canceled my plans just in case youd call?
Back when I was livin for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
Meet me behind the mall

Remember when I pulled up and said, Get in the car
And then canceled my plans just in case youd call?
Back when I was livin for the hope of it all (for the hope of it all)
For the hope of it all
For the hope of it all
(For the hope of it all)
(For the hope of it all)
