Show me the roses, oh
And tell me why I can't let you go
The ocean never looked so blue
The summer air still tastes just like you
I'd watch the California waves
And hold you 'neath the August sun
It's nothing we could change
But I'll dream it anyway
I would always want to stay
But my castle is built on sand
Oh it's nothing we could change
Just how August always fades away
Everything I was looking for
I've seen it all before but it's changed
You've known for the longest time
The Summer air still tastes just like you
I'd watch the California waves
And hold you 'neath the August sun
It's nothing we could change
But I'll dream it anyway
I would always want to stay
But my castle is built on sand
Oh it's nothing we could change
Just how August always fades away
You've known for the longest time
The summer air still tastes just like you
