lyrics

I guess as soon as August hit its swell / the peak of summer came and quickly fell / and all the colors will wilt away / until there's nothing but a memory / and I can only see so far til the midnight blocks my view / and gazing down upon my face was the memory of you / forgiving for their arguments aside / I sit alone and watch these embers die / I'm finally at home two hundred miles away / I finally found home / I guess as certain as the sun will set / and we will laugh and live right here forever through The Outsider and photographs / and all the colors forever stay / but do they ever wonder how they got that way? / and I can only see so far til the midnight blocks my view / and gazing down upon my face was the memory of you / I swore I saw you once on my back porch / I swore you saw me too / now don't get nervous / no don't be nervous / it's something washed out by the light / it calls me outside by your side / it's something I can't recognize
