Lyrics
Them starry skies
Reflecting on starry skies
On August nights
Specifically on August nights
When the moon shines
Highlighting the moon's presence
Yeah, it don't compare to you
Comparing the beauty to someone special
(And everything you do)
Acknowledging the impact of the person's actions
Yeah, you put the light away
Describing the person's ability to bring light
And we where out of booze
Recalling a moment of shortage
Missed the time of day
Missed the passing of time due to focus on the person
Cause all my focus was on you
Highlighting exclusive attention towards the person
(What can I do?)
Expressing a sense of helplessness
(What can I?)
Repetition for emphasis
Yeah, oh no
General expression of concern or realization
I took you down to that cultured town
Taking the person to a culturally rich town
With them singing streets
Describing the town with musical streets and quiet atmosphere
And no city sounds
Emphasizing the absence of typical city noise
And you, loved the view
Person's admiration for the view
We turned around
Turning around to Jacob's house
To Jacob's house
Specific location for the next part of the story
Had a few drinks
Sharing drinks with the person
And I passed out next to you
Passing out next to the person
It was close to two
Indicating the late hour
So I went away for a couple months
Leaving for a couple of months
Tried my best to stay away from drugs
Struggling to stay away from drugs
Cause the situation was bad enough
Acknowledging a challenging situation
And it won't end up the way I want
Expressing uncertainty about the outcome
I got pressured into new friends
Being influenced by new friends
But now I know they were fake friends
Realizing the falseness of these friendships
And I let you go
Letting go of the person due to difficult circumstances
Do to predicaments
Reference to challenging situations
And it turns out, you were innocent
Discovering the person's innocence
Just let em know
Encouraging others to know the truth
This ain't a show
Asserting that this is not a performance
Hella goals
Expressing determination and ambition
I will approach
Approaching life with confidence
With Confidence
Emphasizing the desire for understanding
I just wanna know whats comprehensive
Expressing a need for clarity
I will end this
Repetition for emphasis on ending something
I will end this
Reiteration of the intention to end something
I will end this
Further emphasis on the determination to end something
I will end this
Continued expression of uncertainty or confusion
Cause I don't know
Reiteration of not knowing
I don't know
Final expression of uncertainty
