Cherry Season Lyrics

Right on June 17th

And I’m missing cherry season

When the juice stains our lips

And we save all the pits

To plant near the box we keep bees in

And I’ll make it for peaches

By then you won’t reach me

And I’ll roll the tart dough alone

And I’ll think of each mile

Between me and your smile

And I’ll wish that I never left home

I want you here

I want you with me

‘Cause baby I live off your laugh

But I’m broken in half

Between all I want and all that I need

I want you here

I want you near me

‘Cause lover I need you to pray

But you know I can’t stay

So I’ll lay on your cross and I’ll bleed

I’m packing my room

With the apples in bloom

And I’ll probably come back home for Christmas

But it won’t be the same

And the sound of your name

Is a dagger both gentle and vicious

And I’ll save all the pictures

You gave me last winter

And I’ll frame the one we took in spring

But I’ll just take it down

Cause your ghost hangs around

Just like you’ll say you don’t keep my ring

I want you here

I want you with me

‘Cause baby I live off your laugh

But I’m broken in half

Between all I want and all that I need

I want you here

I want you near me

‘Cause lover I need you to pray

But you know I can’t stay

So I’ll lay on your cross and I’ll bleed

And I’ll buy cherry pie

From the shop near my dorm

And I’ll finally learn

What it means to truly mourn

And I’ll drown in my pillows

And drink ‘till I scream

And call your cell

Praying it’s all a bad dream

And your voicemail

Will rip my soul

Right the hell out of its seams

I want you here

I want you with me

‘Cause baby I live off your laugh

But I’m broken in half

Between all I want and all that I need

I want you here

I want you near me

‘Cause lover I need you to pray

But you know I can’t stay

So I’ll lay on your cross and I’ll bleed
