August Lyrics

Cover art for August lyrics by Rilo Kiley

I'm never really sure if he is talking about the month August, a girl named August, or a mixture. I think he's talking to the month August as if it was a girl, personally.

Maybe he is in love with the month August and wishes they were a person? "Someday, we'll meet beyond the limits of who we are."

There are a lot of ways to interpret this. I think it's best just not to overanalyze it, and just enjoy it.
