Cicadas

Well we couldn’t face the summer heat
So you drove through the night in the seat right next to me
We were losing signal on the radio
So you said let’s see how far that we can go

Then I sang in the dark, but you did not know
Babe, I love you with the windows down
Just the sound of a heartbeat
Engine roaring, high speed, oh

And it sounds like
Cicadas in the summer
Danger in your eyes
Rolling through the thunder
Everything’s alive
I know everything about you
There’s nobody but you and I

Bought a ticket for the lottery
Then we ran every red light in your CRV
Then you got a little close to me
And you whispered this was something from a dream

Then I sang in the dark, but you did not know
Babe, I love you with the windows down
Just the sound of a heartbeat
Engine roaring, high speed, oh

And it sounds like
Cicadas in the summer
Danger in your eyes
Rolling through the thunder
Everything’s alive
I know everything about you
There’s nobody but you and I
