Intro

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
