August Training Camp

Salt air and the rust on your gate

I never needed anything more

Whispers of "Are you sure?"

Never have I ever before

But I can see us lost in memory

August training camp in the sun

You were the hero, I was the one

Back when I was living for the hope of it all

For the hope of it all

Meet me behind the bleachers

You said and I was already there in my head

August slipped away like a bottle of wine

Because you were never mine

Oh, it was August training camp, the summer in the heat

I can still feel the rhythm of the stadium beat

You were mine to lose, you were mine to keep

But the memories of the season run so damn deep

August slipped away like a bottle of wine

'Cause you were never mine

Yeah, it was August training camp, your back beneath the sun

Wishing I could write my name on it

Will you call when you're back at school?

I remember thinking I was so cool

But I was just a girl in the summer side crowd

Screaming your name and talking too loud

The whistle blew and the season began

And I was just another ghost of a fan

Remember when I pulled up and said, "Get in the car"

And then cancelled my plans just in case you called

August slipped away

You were never mine

But I remember
