August 30th Lyrics

I just woke up from another dream

I saw you run into my arms in it

I told you I'd never let you go

But awake I remember that you're now just a ghost

I one time turned and ran away from you

Because forgetting made it easier

To deal with the pain of getting through

But my dreams only showed me I was less without you

I often think about my time with you

And all the dreams we never got to live

I wish I was told it'd all end soon

'Cause I now realize that I took it all for granted

I wish our lives weren't stuck on this highway

'Cause you're heading north, opposing my direction

You passed me by so quickly

But gave my life perspective

I only saw you for a second

But you should know I'm proud of you

You make me think of Heaven

Maybe I'll go there soon

I'll get to see how much you've grown

But 'till then I'm alone

When I found out you were leaving I had to question why

I saw the tears in your eyes and it brought a few to mine

But somehow I still felt alright

I'd rather bear the pain

Than take your place and leave you my fight

I hope she'll understand

I never knew I could love someone so far from me

But I can't stop the dreams of you taking that empty seat

Now after two whole years I still think of that road

And how you're headed home

Maybe someday soon you'll reappear
