Falling in Love with August

Big mistake
Playing with him
Better off loving a sunset
At least you get one of those
Every day

Gotta be dumb
To fall in love
With a summer boy

Whatcha goin' do come fall?
When he heads back
To where he's from
And he's never from here
And he sure ain't movin'
So whatcha goin' do?

Go with him?
Doubtful
Long distance?
Doubtful

Haven't you heard?
Nobody writes love letters anymore

That's why you won't call him anything
Because his only title is
Summer Boy

That's your friends aren't sure what he is
Because he's headed out
Before he's movin' in

That's why you don't fight with him
That's why you don't act like he's your boyfriend
That's why you don't let him walk two steps
Without pulling him back

Because more than two steps
And he's home
And home isn't you
Is it?

You might as well
Have fallen in love
With August

At least you get that
Once a year
