Winter Of Cicada

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 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

Will 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 do

So dress me head to toe

Prepare me for the cold

The longest winter yet

Forever in regret

Forever in regret
