August 31st

I'm standing here but I'm miles away
So much time has passed but nothing has changed
I'm not moving fast but it feels that way
Sometimes (sometimes)
I don't know what you see when you look at me
Caught up in a dream, vision blurry
I'm staring at the Sun wondering why my eyes hurt

'Cause August 31st has come and gone
Put it in reverse, I'm holding on
For every three years that go by
I've only aged one (one)
Don't know why it's so hard to move on
And time is like the weight I can't lift up
Tell me, how is summer over when it's only just begun?

Here it is, my annual review
Looking back on all the things I didn't do
My list is endless
I'm out of defences to run to (to)
Can you be happy and sad at the same time?
Can you be down bad but still alright?
I'm scared of the future
But I'm still holding on to the past (still holding on)

'Cause August 31st has come and gone
Put it in reverse, I'm holding on
For every three years that go by
I've only aged one
Don't know why it's so hard to move on
And time is like weight I can't lift up (up)
Tell me, how is summer over when it's only just begun? (Begun)

But I don't want to feel like this anymore
Help me forget what I've been looking for
I'll try to open up the door

'Cause August 31st has come and gone
I wish we could reverse these last twelve months
For every three years that go by
I've only aged one
'Cause August 31st has come and gone
Put it in reverse, I'm holding on (on)
For every three years that go by
I've only aged one (I've only aged one)
Don't know why it's so hard to move on
And time is like weight I can't lift up
Tell me, how is summer over when it's only just begun? (Oh, just begun)
