Lyrics

(Intro)
(Yeah)
Another summer...
Same city, same mistake...
(Verse 1)
You came back when the summer hit the city
Same old streets but you were looking different
I knew that look, I knew where this was going
Two days together, then we're back to ghosting
We don't need a reason
We don't need a plan
You say that we're nothing
But you still hold my hand
Everybody sees us
We pretend they're wrong
Call you just a friend
Then miss you when you're gone
We make a mess of everything we planned
Laugh about it like we knew it wouldn't last
You leave your perfume somewhere in my room
Then disappear before I get attached
(Pre-Chorus)
Maybe we're a story
That was never meant to stay
Maybe every August
Brings you back my way
(Chorus)
We're everything, we're nothing
Depending on the night
You say that you don't love me
Then you don't leave my side
We're everything, we're nothing
I know how this will end
You'll fly away tomorrow
I'll call you just a friend
And when you find somebody
I'll tell you I'm alright...
We're everything, we're nothing
Until the next goodbye
(Verse 2 – Rap)
Cold water, midnight
You laughing in the waves
I told you, "Stay until the morning"
You looked at me like
You already knew
That leaving was the only thing
You came here to do
Your flight was early
My heart wasn't ready
You wore my favorite shirt
Like you wanted to forget me
I kept your photograph
Inside my phone
But every time I see it
I remember being alone
We burn too bright
Then disappear too fast
Maybe that's the reason
Why I keep coming back
I don't need forever
I just need one more night
Even if tomorrow
You become a stranger in my life
(Chorus)
We're everything, we're nothing
Depending on the night
You say that you don't love me
Then you don't leave my side
We're everything, we're nothing
I know how this will end
You'll fly away tomorrow
I'll call you just a friend
And when you find somebody
I'll tell you I'm alright...
We're everything, we're nothing
Until the next goodbye
(Verse 3 – Rap)
Maybe years from now
I'll see you at a station
Different city
Different conversation
You'll have somebody
I'll pretend I don't care
You'll smile at me
Like we were never there
Maybe he'll talk like me
Maybe he'll dress the same
Maybe you'll hear my voice
Every time he says your name
But I won't interfere
I won't ask you to return
Some things only teach you
After watching them burn
And if August comes again
And you're nowhere around
I'll still look at the ocean
Where we almost settled down
(Bridge)
Maybe we were never broken...
Maybe we were never whole...
Maybe you were just a season...
That I couldn't let go...
(Final Chorus)
We're everything, we're nothing
That's all we'll ever be
A little bit of forever
That never belonged to me
We're everything, we're nothing
And maybe that's okay
Some people come like summer
Then disappear away
If I see you years from now
I'll smile and let you go...
We're everything, we're nothing
But I'll always know...
(Outro)
(distant ocean waves)
August again...
Same sky...
Different us...
(fade)
