August With You

[Verse 1]
Your bare feet find the warm stone street,
While cicadas keep our midnight beat.
The air tastes sweet of peach and rain,
You say my name; the stars lean in again.

[Chorus]
Love me where the summer nights don’t end,
Under paper lanterns, cheek to cheek, my friend.
When September comes to close the blue,
I’ll keep these August nights with you.

[Verse 2]
The last train sighs beyond the square,
Your salt-wet hair tangles in the air.
We share one soda, two bent straws,
And kiss beneath the shuttered shops.

[Bridge]
If dawn comes early, let it wait,
Let the sky turn pale outside the gate.

[Outro]
Summer fades, but I still know:
One warm night can last a whole year.
