Inaugust

Isn't it strange how we always want what we can't get
Something or someone only reachable in imagination
They may say I'm just a dreamer
I don't care while she's my dream
Can't wake up
Keep my eyes shut
Or I'll lose what I first came here for

If she is the reason
Forget the rhyme of rhythm
Or the seasons
They're nothing
She's one I'll always love
I mean like
I like her
I think I know I do love her so
But if the rhythm compels us to sync heartbeats
Forget about reason
The seasons will remind us of what we know
But what do I know

I know she draws her circles clockwise
Enclosing a beautiful nothing
How at times we sit in silence
Yet still we are saying something to the other more than words
It's a sound that can't be heard by human ears
Like the fears we share of loneliness
Of loss
Of love
We cross our arms around each other and hold tight

Hold until the light comes on
Hold until the dark is gone
Hold until we wonder where the thunder went
As it comes to an end
Hold until we hold again
And again
And again
And again

And in August I'll hold her once more
Until we fall to winter fevers
But surely she'll bring me to spring
And I know I'll never leave her alone again

I just wanted to let you know I'm okay
Took a drive last night to think about what you said
Chain smoked cigarettes
I'm done wasting time
The music is playing loud
Drowned out the voice in my head
I'm ready to take a risk
Ready for a real adventure
I'll see you in August, my love
My love
