The 21st of August

Verse 1

Met you in that summer haze

Saw your face once and it blurred

Then a calendar flipped pages on a wall

Stuck waiting through the winter and the fall

Counting every single sunset

Living with a memory I couldn't quite forget

Pre-Chorus

Then the mailman brought a letter

Wrapped in university blue

Told me exactly what I had to do

Chorus

Seven years later we're standing tall

Seven years later didn't let it fall

I saw you then

I see you now

In the crowds I only looked for you

Only you

Verse 2

Library lights burned late

While I earned that paper piece

Had to stand up proud when I finally called you mine

No way I was letting luck fall out of line

Kept my mouth shut tight for semesters

Watching from the edges with the jokers and the jesters

Pre-Chorus

On the night before your train ride home

The tide broke through the levee bank

My pride just simply sank

Chorus

Seven years later we're standing tall

Seven years later didn't let it fall

I saw you then

I see you now

In the crowds I only looked for you

Only you

Bridge

Kolkata air was humid and sweet

Kolkata air where we had to meet

Twenty-first of August

The world finally stopped spinning round

Happiest man to ever be found

Chorus

Seven years later we're standing tall

Seven years later didn't let it fall

I saw you then

I see you now

In the crowds I only looked for you

Only you

Only you

Only you

Post-Chorus

Found my way to you

Found my way home

Seven years and we're just getting started

Yeah

Just getting started
