Summer of August
Embracing the Bittersweet Symphony of August
Lyrics
Oh August, I fear it’s about time,
Expressing concern about the current state of affairs in August.
you and I’ve crossed a line
Acknowledging that a boundary has been crossed between the speaker and the other person.
We’ve reached the peak

as we watch the day dip into the sea,
Observing the sunset and contemplating shared experiences.
I wonder, I wonder if you see, what I already feel
Questioning if the other person perceives the same emotions that the speaker is already feeling.
we have no time but this and it’s killing me,
Expressing frustration about the limited time available and its emotional impact.
I already miss the salt on my skin
Expressing nostalgia for past experiences, specifically the sensation of salt on the skin.
I miss the wind and the sound of free will

under my skin, feel the tide pulls in and out

Acknowledging the ephemeral nature of time but expressing acceptance.
