End of August lyrics

Richie and Austen are often along for the ride They don't say a lot, but they know every inch of this drive If these trees started talking, I bet you they'd only talk shit 'Cause we never do anything real, we just talk about it Endin' of August, the bugs are just starting to die All the neighbors are voting for someone who wins every time And I thought getting older meant knowing it's too late to try And I tried getting sober, I swear I did better this time Uh-hm-oh-hm Uh-hm-oh-hm Uh-hm-oh-hm Uh-hm-oh-ooh Whoa, everything you see out here will die Oh, it's a matter of time Till it's fields of ice and reflector lights Till it's our town, mm And anything you need, I will provide A ride home or an alibi I know the traffic light You can speed right by 'Cause the camera's down And I follow New York plates to the county line I ignore 'em when they wave on 89 The minute that September hits I'm going off my medicine, oh Late August angst and a pointless night Oh, and the feeling of being alive For the first time In a long time Oh, we're drawing of a place, oh, we're a photo on the fridge They mined copper for years, oh, there was nothing left to dig It's a place where most kids just grow up and have kids Grow up and have kids who build homes for the rich Whoa, everything you see out here will die Oh, it's a matter of time Till it's fields of ice and reflector lights Till it's our town Till it's our town Till it's our town And it's ours now 'Cause it's ours now 05072 A long shadow
