feels like the first day I tried to wash it off
I don't know where she is, these visions never rest
it cuts where it don't bleed, still crying for a way out
when you reap what you don't seed, it's hard to put the blame on someone else

walk slowly for the moment
you don't have to tell me why august lasts forever
maybe we could leave the lies
if only for a moment
you don't have to tell me why august last forever
will august last forever

the day and night collide as time takes its time
when I'm trying to forget, I forget to hold on
it's spinning through my head, we would have picked a name for her by now

walk slowly for the moment
you don't have to tell me why
august lasts forever
maybe we could leave the lies
if only for the moment
you don't have to tell me why august lasts forever

the sun will turn its face to rain
and you won't have to change your name
with everything the way it was
embrace and go your way
with fingertips and tides of life
you'll never take away that night
with everything the way it was
let beauty turn the page

for a moment
as the autumn rain begins
will august last forever
let this summer season end

walk slowly for a moment
you don't have to tell me why
august lasts forever
maybe we should leave the lies
if only for the moment
you don't have to tell me why
august lasts forever
