Love like this so hard to miss
But I'm still tryna be an optimist
And I know it's hard to be apart
And I know it's hard to just restart
Cause I just wanna feel so free
And I just want you here with me
But I got dreams so I gotta go
And I'm sorry that you feel alone
I've been thinking bout you a lot lately
And how we would just drive around the town
And I stay sober
This pain got me thinking
Should I just go out drinking
Even just for the night
I said take me back to August
Back to August
Back to August
I said take me back to August
Back to August
Back to August
They said the grass was greener
I believed it too
Now I'm sitting here away from you
And I admit I was wrong
My pride's in the way so I'm singing this song
That's the last time I follow what they say
Cause it looks like I just went and threw it away
But I got visions I got dreams
So maybe all of this just needed to be
I've been thinking bout you a lot lately
And how we would just drive around the town
And I stay sober
This pain got me thinking
Should I just go out drinking
Even just for the night
Nothing gold can stay
Nothing gold can stay
Nothing gold can stay
