ALISHBA — “AUGUST GIRL” [Intro — soft, dreamy] Oh-oh… Alishba… Yeah… I think I finally know why August feels different. [Verse 1] You were born in August, Maybe that’s why you feel like summer, Like the kind of night you don’t want ending, Like a song you keep replaying when it’s over. Then January came around, And somehow I found you, Didn’t know a conversation Could turn into a life I never knew. Eight months, and I still get that feeling Every time I see your name, Like my heart didn’t get the memo That it’s supposed to stop doing that. I love the way you smile, The way your eyes light up, The way you make a bad day Feel like it isn’t that tough. You’re jolly, you’re comforting, You’re crazy like me, And somehow being with you Feels exactly where I’m meant to be. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe we’re too similar, Maybe that’s the reason why I can tell you what I’m thinking Before I even say it out loud. And I don’t know how you did it, But somewhere along the way… [CHORUS — BIG] You became my August girl, My favourite person in the world, The kind of love I never knew I’d get to find. And if I had a million lives, I’d meet you a million times, I’d fall for those eyes Every single time. From January to forever, Baby, I want you by my side, And when the years turn into memories, I still wanna call you mine. Alishba, you don’t even know How much you changed my life. You were born in August, But you became my favourite time of year. [Verse 2] Tomorrow I’ll be seeing you, And I already know I’ll smile, ’Cause somehow after eight months You still make my heart run wild. I love your little mannerisms, The things you don’t even see, The way you make me feel so safe Just by being next to me. You’re the person I wanna tell About the stupid things I do, The first person I wanna call When something good comes through. And I don’t need perfect, I don’t need some movie scene, Give me you on an ordinary day, That’s everything to me. [Pre-Chorus] And maybe I’m getting ahead of myself, But I can see it when I close my eyes— Your hand in mine, That look in your eyes, And a whole life passing by. [CHORUS] You became my August girl, My favourite person in the world, The kind of love I never knew I’d get to find. And if I had a million lives, I’d meet you a million times, I’d fall for those eyes Every single time. From January to forever, Baby, I want you by my side, And when the years turn into memories, I still wanna call you mine. Alishba, you don’t even know How much you changed my life. You were born in August, But you became my favourite time of year. [Bridge — quiet, emotional] And one day we’ll look back At the girl who turned twenty-two, And laugh about how eight months Felt like it wasn’t enough time with you. I’ll tell you about this song, About the night that I wrote it, About how I couldn’t find the words For everything my heart was holding. Then I’ll take your hand, And maybe you’ll already know, I’ll open up that little box And finally tell you what I couldn’t say before: I don’t just want August. I don’t just want January. I don’t just want eight months. I want every month that comes after. [Arabic-inspired vocal break] Ya habibti… Ya omri… Alishba, you’re my home. Ya habibti… Don’t ever forget, You’re the love I wanna grow old with. [FINAL CHORUS — HUGE] You became my August girl, My favourite person in the world, And somehow loving you Just keeps getting better. From the first day in January To every day forever after, I’ll keep choosing you Through every kind of weather. And when you’re twenty-three, Twenty-four, twenty-five, I’ll still look at you Like you’re the best thing in my life. And when that day finally comes, I’ll put that ring upon your hand, Look into those beautiful eyes And tell you, “Baby, I’m your man.” Alishba, you don’t even know How much you changed my life. You were born in August, And I’ll spend my whole life Making sure you know How much you mean to mine. [Outro — soft] So here’s to August… Here’s to January… Here’s to eight months… And here’s to everything we haven’t lived yet. Happy birthday, my love. You’re my August girl. And I’ll love you in every season. ❤️ It needs to sound like a Taylor swift song that is a banger
