Cover art for August lyrics by Rilo Kiley

he was in love with a girl, they probably had a falling out in august, which he explains when he says, "August, August of last year, before the leaves disappeared, told me you were not the one. August, something in your eyes, or was it that July? Told me not to take it to heart."

he hopes that one day he can be with her again, that they can forget whatever happened between the two of them, or "beyond the limits of who we are"
