LYRICS:
The bright August sun bears a face that is false
Soon Fall will come, glistening gold leaves of loss
The honey-colored moon is waning thin...
Bringing high tides of the memories of him.
Will you be my August sun?
Will you be my August sun?
There is some time before Summer's done
Will you be my August sun?

Mix up the syrup, the lime, the rum
Moonless night on the beach, wholesome fun
Might jump in the water while you're fast asleep…
And let the tide pull me out into the sea.
Will you be my August sun?
Will you be my August sun?
I'll pretend I'm in love, I'll make my mind numb
So my body can bask in the August sun.

Hold me close
Touch your lips to my face
But don't dare remember my name
I promise to do the same

Hold me close, just enough
I don't want to hurt you,
I'm gonna let go and love somebody new,
I'm gonna forget, forget, forget
You.

Exhausted from feeling so much these days
Twenty-three, summertime wasting away
I have been wounded, why ask for
more, for more, for more?

Isn't it so, my August sun, that it's
better to burn than to keep feeling numb?
Anger's an easy emotion, stop myself from feeling
Broken

Will you be my August sun?
I know the end before we've begun...
You don't have to be my One
But you can be my August sun...

I'm No Different, Coming Alive, and If you Want (Live at Creek and the Cave 9.8.16)

Nothing Ever Stays The Same (Acoustic Version)

It tastes like you
and our apartment too
the yellow walls
our dying basil

It sounds like you
boiling water to brew
lunch is ready
set it for two

I'm not saying that I want it
because I don't want it back
but I can't tell myself it's over
'cause I'm still not over it

It's a weird and painful in-between
to be in love with what has been
but at a place where you and I
don't fit quite in

But the songs and the dreams and the chamomile tea
will always bring me back to bright walls and cities
where you and me
were 'we'

It feels odd not to ask how you are
all these unspoken rules to obey
I am told to keep my distance so as not to confuse this
as our history falls wordlessly away

And I'm not saying that I want it
because I don't want it back
but nostalgia is a wrecking ball
and I'm a wall of glass

It's a weird and painful in-between
to be in love with what has been
but at a place where you and I
don't fit quite in

But the songs and the dreams and the chamomile tea
will always bring me back to bright walls and cities
where you and me
were 'we'
