August Is Over
We the Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The summer nights are dead
The fall is coming
We were careless hearts
Who got caught up in this
You were shy
To the night you drove me wild
And I won't lie
I wish it lasted a lifetime
Please stay-ay-ay
Won't you stay-ay-ay
Tonight
Breathe in deep
And say goodbye
The saddest song
I'll ever write
For anyone, anytime
Breathe in deep
Before I say
I can feel us slip away
You're almost gone
You're good as gone
August is over
No wait
Cause August had to end
All our bags are packed
Just two broken hearts
That got caught up in this
I deny
That tomorrow you'll be gone
And so far from me
It's something strange
Never love the same way
Please stay-ay-ay
Won't you stay-ay-ay
Tonight
Breathe in deep
And say goodbye
The saddest song
I'll ever write
For anyone, anytime
Breathe in deep
Before I say
I can feel us slip away
You're almost gone
You're good as gone
We can try to drown it out
But it never stops breathing
We can take it all in
But it never slows down
We've come down from that cloud
Well say-ay-ay
What you gotta say-ay-ay
Please say-ay-ay
What you gotta say
Whoa-a-oh-oh
Whoa-a-oh-oh
Breathe in deep
And say goodbye
The saddest song
I'll ever write
For anyone, anytime
Breathe in deep
Before I say
I can feel us slip away
You're almost gone
You're good as gone
August is over
We're not the reason
August is over
The song "August Is Over" by We the Kings speaks to the ending of a summer romance and the inevitable goodbye that comes with it. The chorus is a plea for the singer's lover to stay with him just a little bit longer. The lyrics "Breathe in deep and say goodbye, the saddest song I'll ever write" signify the profound pain of letting go of a relationship that was not meant to last.
The summer season symbolizes the fleeting nature of life, and the leaves changing in the fall signify that change is inevitable. The line "We're not the reason August is over" represents the theme of natural endings and that some things are beyond our control. The lyrics "We were careless hearts / Who got caught up in this" showcases the sense of recklessness felt during a summer romance.
