August is crawling to her death
and I wish I could cherish her last breath
but counting sunsets till I can see the snow-clad pavements glow
I sleepwalked through the best parts of the show
Cause my brain is always trying to justify
the eternal sadness as if this way it will finally die
Maybe I hate the summer or the way I ruin all I touch
And maybe staying awake would hurt too much
Sweet midnight breeze take me
somewhere far away from myself
Please, I need some relief
Right now I wish I was anybody else
Anybody else
And I don't remember anymore
how vivid colors used to be before
mourning for what was and obsessing with what will be
poisoned everything good I had in me
How quickly now turns to then scares me breathless
What if I was a wreck in my best days?
What if right now is what future me will want to run to
and wasting it is all that I could do?
Sweet midnight breeze take me
somewhere far away from myself
Please, I need some relief
Right now I wish I was anybody else
Anybody else
Salt summer air help me
breathe and find a way to like myself
Don't let me cut people off again
or say I don't need anybody else
Anybody else
