"August" lyrics

You're too many states away
You never said goodbye to my dog
The one that died that loved you quite a lot
I wish I could complain to you
But I can't risk sounding a bore
I just miss my dog and I miss you all the more

I glued my fingers together
And you can't see the ground in my room
They predicted bad, bad weather
But I guess the sun shines 'cause you asked it to
I was counting on that thunder though
To press reset on my soul

But then you reached out and you held my hand through the phone
And suddenly, I don't feel so alone

You left me with only the scent of you
So I keep meeting you in my dreams
Maybe one night I can finally say what I mean
If I could put the words into melodies
Oh, it would be a beautiful song
But it's August now and its still just comes out wrong

I glued my fingers together
And you can't see the ground in my room
They predicted bad bad weather
But I guess the sun shines 'cause you ask it to
I was counting on that thunder though
To press reset on my soul

But then you reached out and you held my hand through the phone
And suddenly, I don't feel so alone

Hmm, mmm, hmm, hmm
You never say goodbye to my dog
Ooh, ooh, ooh

I glued my fingers together
And you can't see the ground in my room
They predicted bad bad weather
But I guess the sun shines 'cause you ask it to
I was counting on that thunder though
To press reset on my soul

But then you reached out and you held my hand through the phone
And suddenly, I don't feel so alone

And suddenly, I don't feel alone
