August in Dublin

Your hair tied back in those little black boots

Dead Sea was playin'

You smiled, and you said I won't sink with you

When I hear that song, I wish that I could

Still hear you singin' I swear we were good

I swear you were happy

I swear that your eyes lit up lookin' right at me

So take this endless hope

'Cause I'm bound, and I feel like I'm drownin'

Oh, tear that loveless rope

That keeps twistin' an honest depiction

With every last breath like lead in my chest

I'm tragically blind to the proof

So take this endless hope

'Cause I'm bound by the thought of you

Lost in delusion that holdin' you back is somethin' I could do

I try not to go home, 'cause I can't escape all the fragments of you

It's the girl on the street with your shade of eyes

The dream that I have where I think you're still mine

I swear we were good, I swear we had everythin', I swore we had time

So take this endless hope

'Cause I'm bound, and I feel like I'm drownin'

Oh, tear that loveless rope

That keeps twistin' an honest depiction

With every last breath like lead in my chest

I'm tragically blind to the proof

So take this endless hope

'Cause I'm bound by the thought of you

Can't you let me go? Can't you cut me loose?

I'm tortured but I won't let it die

It kinda kills me but keeps me alive

'Cause I swear we were good, I swear you were happy

I swear that you're almost there, lookin' right at me

So take this endless hope

'Cause I'm bound, and I feel like I'm drownin'

Oh, tear that loveless rope

That keeps twistin' an honest depiction

With every last breath like lead in my chest

I'm tragically blind to the proof

So take this endless hope

'Cause I'm bound by the thought of you

By the thought of you

By the thought of you
