Verse 1
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
To the night you drove me wild
And you crashed into me
And I won't lie
I wish it lasted a lifetime
Refrain 1
Please stay-ay-ay
Won't you stay-ay-ay
Tonight
Chorus 1
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
Break
August is over
(Repeat Intro once)
Verse 2
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
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus 1 except last line)
Bridge
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
Refrain 2
Please stay-ay-ay
Won't you stay-ay-ay
Please stay-ay-ay
What you gotta say you want
ohhh ohh ohh
Chorus 2
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
Break
August is over
Outro
guitar 2 as intro
We're not the reason
August is over
