Name: August
Duration: P00H02M28S
Description: This is about the first time time it truly hit me that I wasn't going back to college in August. I had been sitting on my front porch when I experienced the familiar smell in the air that one gets during those late August nights in central New York, and it brought about a swell of nostalgia that was met with the humbling uncertainty for the future.

This is about the first time time it truly hit me that I wasn't going back to college in August. I had been sitting on my front porch when I experienced the familiar smell in the air that one gets during those late August nights in central New York, and it brought about a swell of nostalgia that was met with the humbling uncertainty for the future.

lyrics

I was excited
to jump into life and make a brand new start
of the story that I've lived with all my heart
to see the world and all it's faces
to see the world and all it's places

And now we're out
shotgunned into the world
without a doubt
of where we'd rather be
than where we are
and the space between has never felt so far
from dreams we had in May
and life today

But I know that it'll get better
I know that I'll be alright
I've always pulled through
Because I'm usually the kind friend who shines bright

But this year in late August
it's different
