August
BEN BEDROOM - Taylor Swift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers
Of "Are you sure?"
"Never have I ever before"
But I can see us
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away
Like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Your back
Beneath the sun
Wishing I could write my name on it
Will you call when you're back at school?
I remember thinking I had you
But I can see us
Lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away
Like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Back when we were still changing for the better
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Cancel plans just in case you'd call
And say "Meet me behind the mall"
So much for summer love, and saying "Us"
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
You weren't mine to lose
No
But I can see us
Lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away
Like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine, mine
'Cause you were never mine
Never mine
Do you remember?
Remember when I pulled up
And said "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans
Just in case you'd call
Back when I was living for the hope of it all
For the hope of it all
"Meet me behind the mall"
(Remember when I pulled up)
(And said "Get in the car")
(And then canceled my plans)
(Just in case you'd call)
(Back when I was living for the hope of it all)
(For the hope of it all)
("Meet me behind the mall")
Remember when I pulled up
And said "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans
Just in case you'd call
Back when I was living for the hope of it all
(For the hope of it all)
For the hope of it all
For the hope of it all
For the hope of it all
For the hope of it all

Line by Line Meaning
Salt air
The refreshing smell of the ocean breeze
And the rust on your door
The natural aging of your surroundings, showing the passage of time
I never needed anything more
I never desired anything beyond the simplicity of being with you
Whispers
Soft, secretive words shared between us
Of "Are you sure?"
Of doubts and uncertainties in our relationship
"Never have I ever before"
Acknowledging the uniqueness of our bond
But I can see us
Imagining a future together
Lost in the memory
Caught up in the nostalgia of our past moments
August slipped away into a moment in time
The summer days passed quickly, leaving us with fleeting memories
'Cause it was never mine
Realizing that what we had was temporary and unattainable
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Recalling intimate moments shared between us
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
The passing of time felt both slow and intoxicating
'Cause you were never mine
Coming to terms with the fact that our relationship was never meant to be
Your back beneath the sun
Seeing you in a peaceful and vulnerable state
Wishing I could write my name on it
Longing to leave a lasting mark on your life
Will you call when you're back at school?
Questioning if our connection will continue despite distance
I remember thinking I had you
Reflecting on the false sense of security in our relationship
Back when we were still changing for the better
In a time of growth and evolution in our lives
Wanting was enough
Simply desiring each other's presence was sufficient
For me, it was enough
Expressing contentment in the simplicity of our connection
To live for the hope of it all
Finding purpose and joy in the possibility of our relationship
Cancel plans just in case you'd call
Being willing to rearrange my schedule for the chance to be with you
And say "Meet me behind the mall"
Suggesting a secret rendezvous as a symbol of our hidden romance
So much for summer love, and saying "Us"
Realizing the transient nature of our summer romance
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
Accepting that you were never truly mine
Do you remember?
Prompting you to recall our shared moments
Remember when I pulled up
Recalling a specific memory of our time together
And said "Get in the car"
Inviting you on a spontaneous adventure
Back when I was living for the hope of it all
Reliving a time when our future together seemed promising

Baby love, I think I've been a little too kind
Didn't notice you walking all over my peace of mind
In the shoes I gave you as a present
Puttin' someone first only works when you're in their top five
And by the way, I'm going out tonight
Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer
And when I meet the band
They ask, "Do you have a man?"
I can still say, "I don't remember"
Familiarity breeds contempt
Don't put me in the basement
When I want the penthouse of your heart
Diamonds in my eyes
I polish up real, I polish up real nice
Nice
Baby boy, I think I've been too good of a girl (too good of a girl)
Did all the extra credit, then got graded on a curve
I think it's time to teach some lessons
I made you my world (huh), have you heard? (Huh)
I can reclaim the land
And I miss you (I miss you)
But I miss sparkling (ah, hey)
Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer
And when I meet the band
They ask, "Do you have a man?"
I can still say, "I don't remember"
Familiarity breeds contempt
Don't put me in the basement
When I want the penthouse of your heart
Diamonds in my eyes
I polish up real, I polish up real nice
Nice
Sapphire tears on my face
Sadness became my whole sky
But some guy said my aura's moonstone
Just 'cause he was high
And we're dancin' all night
And you can try to change my mind
But you might have to wait in line
What's a girl gonna do?
A diamond's gotta shine
Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer (shimmer)
And when I meet the band
They ask, "Do you have a man?"
I can still say, "I don't remember"
Familiarity breeds contempt
Don't put me in the basement
When I want the penthouse of your heart
Diamonds in my eyes
I polish up real (nice), I polish up real nice
And we're dancin' all night
And you can try to change my mind
But you might have to wait in line
What's a girl gonna do? What's a girl gonna do?
I polish up nice
Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer

Solving fractions, it's a blast,
Let's dive in and have a blast,
With Keep, Change, and Flip, we'll divide,
Simplifying fractions, side by side.

Oh, fraction magic, it's so grand,
Learning math, hand in hand,
Together we'll conquer every fraction,
With a smile and satisfaction.
(Verse 2)
Butterfly method, cross multiply,
Adding fractions, oh so sly,
Finding LCD, we'll add and subtract,
With precision, there's no lack.
(Chorus)
Oh, fraction magic, it's so grand,
Learning math, hand in hand,
Together we'll conquer every fraction,
With a smile and satisfaction.

Hamburger method, multiply,
Numerator and denominator, oh my,
Cross cancellation, like a barbecue,
Multiplying fractions, we'll do.
(Chorus)
Oh, fraction magic, it's so grand,
Learning math, hand in hand,
Together we'll conquer every fraction,
With a smile and satisfaction.

Multiplying fractions, oh how we'll fly,
With fraction magic, we'll always prevail,
In the world of math, we'll never fail.
(Chorus)
Oh, fraction magic, it's so grand,
Learning math, hand in hand,
Together we'll conquer every fraction,
With a smile and satisfaction.

Fractions may seem tricky,
But with methods so nifty,
We'll solve them all, no doubt,
With fraction magic, we'll figure it out.

Oh, fraction magic, it's so grand,
Learning math, hand in hand,
Together we'll conquer every fraction,
With a smile and satisfaction.

So let's embrace the world of fractions,
With fraction magic, we'll find the solutions,
In the realm of math, we'll always strive,
With joy and confidence, we'll thrive.
