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
Till the night you drove me wild
And you crashed into me

And I won't lie
I wish it lasted a lifetime


Please stay-ay-ay
Won't you stay-ay-ay
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-ay-ay

Won't you stay-ay-ay
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-ay-ay
What you gotta say-ay-ay
Please say-ay-ay

What you gotta say
Whoa-a-oh-oh
Whoa-a-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
