Nothing To Offer August Lyrics

Add it up to seventeen
And I don't know what this all means
And if I stay here all night
Would you be here when it's light
Please don't leave me

Silent you said the only thing
I understood and now it's gone forever
There's nothing to say that hasn't been said
Our last night you came and walked away

Add it up to twenty-three
I have nothing to offer August
And if I stay here all night
Would you be here when it's light
You know I need you

Add it up even more
My time's wasted thinking of August
And if I stay here all night
Would it be such a crime
You know I'm singing

Looking back, the summer's gone
Now I always think of August
Looking back, yesterday
I just watch them all fade
You know I'm singing

You walked away...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
