August Wasn’t Long Enough Flip-flops by the back door, sand still in my hair, Late-night drives with nowhere to go, just summer in the air. Sunburnt shoulders, lemonade, fireworks fading slow, Wish I could freeze this moment before we have to let it go. The days got shorter way too fast, We thought forever had our backs… ‘Cause August wasn’t long enough, Not enough sunsets, not enough love. Not enough nights singing with the windows down, Not enough memories in this little beach town. The stars came out, then summer slipped away, Now we’re counting down the last warm days. If I could make the season stay somehow, I would— ‘Cause August wasn’t long enough. Polaroids on my bedroom floor, tickets from the fair, Tan lines fading into memories hanging everywhere. One last bonfire on the shore, one last ocean breeze, Trying to hold onto the magic like it never has to leave. The moon is rising earlier now, September’s knocking way too loud… ‘Cause August wasn’t long enough, Not enough sunsets, not enough love. Not enough nights singing with the windows down, Not enough memories in this little beach town. The stars came out, then summer slipped away, Now we’re counting down the last warm days. If I could make the season stay somehow, I would— ‘Cause August wasn’t long enough. So leave the string lights glowing, Leave the radio on… Maybe if we keep on dancing, Summer won’t be gone. But the sky’s turning golden, and I know what’s coming next… August wasn’t long enough… No, it never is.
