Lirik End of August - Noah Kahan
Richie and Austen are often along for the ride
They don't say a lot, but they know every inch of this drive
If these trees started talkin', I bet you they'd only talk shit
'Cause we never do anythin' real, we just talk about it
Endin' of August, the bugs are just starting to die
All the neighbors are votin' for someone who wins every time
And I thought getting older meant knowin' it's too late to try
And I tried getting sober, I swear I did better this time
Ooh, hm
Ooh, hm
Ooh, hm
Ooh, hm (ooh)
Whoa, everythin' you see out here will die
Oh, it's a matter of time 'til it's
Fields of ice and reflector lights
'Til it's our town, mm
And anythin' you need, I will provide
A ride home or an alibi
I know the traffic light you can speed right by
'Cause the camera's down
And I follow New York plates to the county line
I ignore 'em when they wave on 89
The minute that September hits
I'm goin' off my medicine, oh
Late August angst, and a pointless night
Ooh, and the feeling of being alive
For the first time, in a long time
Oh we're a drawing of a place
We're a photo on the fridge
They mined copper for years
Oh, there was nothing left to dig
It's a place where most kids
Just grow up and have kids, who grow up and have kids
Who build homes for the rich, oh
Whoa, everything you see out here will die
Ooh, it's a matter of time 'til it's
Fields of ice and reflector lights
'Til it's our town
'Til it's our town
'Til it's our town
And it's ours now
'Cause it's ours now
