August Lyrics by Rilo Kiley

Take Offs and Landings

2001

[Verse 1]
August, I'll see you soon
Under yellow moons
Where I'll gather what's left of you
And August, I'm on your side
Or did I speak too soon?
Now we've crossed the great divide

[Chorus]
Someday, we'll meet beyond the stars
And it'll be away from here
Someday, we'll meet beyond the time and the bars
And it will be away from here

[Verse 2]
August, August of last year
Before the leaves disappeared
Told me you were not the one
And August, something in your eyes
Or was it in your lies
That told me not to take it to heart?

[Chorus]
Someday, we'll meet beyond the stars
And it will be away from here
Someday, we'll meet beyond the limits of who we are
And it will be away from here

[Chorus 2]
Someday, we'll meet beyond the stars
And it'll be away from here
Someday, we'll meet beyond the land that you call "miles away"
Away from here
