August Ghost

Verse 1

Wait

The sun went down too fast

Missing how you laughed

Two drinks on a porch in June

Staying up until the afternoon

Driving nowhere

Parking lot in the middle of May

Thinking of the things that I didn't say

I knew you weren't right

Pre-Chorus

But I can't let go

No I can't let go

Falling through the ceiling

Fighting this feeling

Chorus

I want you back and I know that I shouldn't

Tried to walk away but you know that I couldn't

Spending every summer night chasing your ghost

Missing all the parts of you I hated the most

I want you back and I know that I shouldn't

Tried to walk away but you know that I couldn't

Yeah you know that I couldn't

Verse 2

Now

My phone is glowing blue

Checking for a word from you

Stuck inside a loop

Losing every bit of my youth

Breaking my own rules again

Looking at the stars through a dirty pane

Wishing I could feel that August rain

Falling on my face

Pre-Chorus

But I can't let go

No I can't let go

Falling through the ceiling

Fighting this feeling

Chorus

I want you back and I know that I shouldn't

Tried to walk away but you know that I couldn't

Spending every summer night chasing your ghost

Missing all the parts of you I hated the most

I want you back and I know that I shouldn't

Tried to walk away but you know that I couldn't

Yeah you know that I couldn't

Bridge

Maybe it's the season

Maybe there's no reason

Summer came

Summer went

Everything we ever spent

Chorus

I want you back and I know that I shouldn't

Tried to walk away but you know that I couldn't

Spending every summer night chasing your ghost

Missing all the parts of you I hated the most

I want you back and I know that I shouldn't

Tried to walk away but you know that I couldn't

Yeah you know that I couldn't
