Winter of Cicada

(album: This Too Won't Pass - 2018)

I made some plans and wrote them down
For both of us
They're in a book beneath my bed
With a photo on the front
The pages read of things we'd see
The ones you wanted most
I'd take you to the places that
I always said we'd go

And how can I be sure it gets better
I've written every word, every letter

I just want to be wherever you are
Sure I can be whatever you want
I know it's harder to give than to get
You get what you give and that's it
I just want to be, I just want to be

A kid I was a teenager
A foolish one
The polo shirt I'd always wear
You begged me to rip up
You pierced my nose, I shaved your head
You came to all my shows
And everyone one would always say
Don't ever let her go

And how can I be sure it gets better
I've written every word, every letter

I just want to be wherever you are
Sure I can be whatever you want
I know it's harder to give than to get
You get what you give and that's it
You just need me but I wasn't there
I know I never treated you fair
And how much longer till I regret
Taking the bet that you'd quit
I just want to be
So rip me apart and put me right back how you want
You just needed me
You just needed me

So how can I maintain
You occupy my brain
But still I wait for you
It's the best that I can
So dress me head to toe
Prepare me for the cold
The longest winter yet
Forever in regret

Forever in regret
