Say a prayer, the summer nights are dead
The fall is coming
We were careless hearts
Who got caught up in this

You were shy to the night you drove me wild
And you crashed into me and I won't lie
I wish it lasted a lifetime

Please stay
Won't you stay tonight?

Breathe in deep and say goodbye
The saddest song I'll ever write
For anyone, anytime

Breathe in deep before I say
I can feel us slip away
You're almost gone, you're good as gone
August is over

Now we wait 'cause August had to end
All our bags are packed
Just two broken hearts
That got caught up in this

I deny that tomorrow you'll be gone
And so far from me
It's something strange
Never love the same way

Please stay
Won't you stay tonight?

Breathe in deep and say goodbye
The saddest song I'll ever write
For anyone, anytime

Breathe in deep before I say
I can feel us slip away
You're almost gone, you're good as gone

We can try to drown it out
But it never stops breathing
We can take it all in
But it never slows down
We've come down from that cloud

Well, say what you gotta say
Please say what you gotta say
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh

Breathe in deep and say goodbye
The saddest song I'll ever write
For anyone, anytime

Breathe in deep before I say
I can feel us slip away
You're almost gone, you're good as gone
August is over

We're not the reason
August is over
