| he was in love with a girl, they probably had a falling out in august, which he explains when he says, "August, August of last year, before the leaves disappeared, told me you were not the one. August, something in your eyes, or was it that July? Told me not to take it to heart." he hopes that one day he can be with her again, that they can forget whatever happened between the two of them, or "beyond the limits of who we are" | |

| I'd have to agree with LetMenBurnStars, since loving the month of August would explain the first verse... about how he'll see August soon, and gathering up what's left meaning the leaves at the beginning of autumn. Mentioning July also bolsters the month theory... | |

| I'm never really sure if he is talking about the month August, a girl named August, or a mixture. I think he's talking to the month August as if it was a girl, personally. Maybe he is in love with the month August and wishes they were a person? "Someday, we'll meet beyond the limits of who we are." There are a lot of ways to interpret this. I think it's best just not to overanalyze it, and just enjoy it. | |
