Cicadas Lyrics

If we stare hard enough

I'm sure that we could shut off

The street lights like I did when I was

Five and days were flying by

Now I'm with you and I still share the same view

'Cause the night

Never quite

Lived up to the days I knew

Where has it gone?

The cicada's song

Oh it's all that I want

To hear it in the dawn

Right down, just beyond the cedar trees

There's a spot you've gotta see

It had a lock that rusted off and nobody ever knew except for us

From up here you can see the city clear as the traffic carries on

Meant everything back in 2017 to know that twilight always comes

Where has it gone?

The cicada's song

Oh it's all that I want

To hear it in the dawn

Dirty feet and ginkgo trees

Days spent in the yard

Never really seemed complete

Without the sound I'm looking for

Am I too old to hear it now?

Must I try to find another song?

(Where has it gone the cicada's song)
