A Cicada Sings

4BOUT (어바웃)

You don’t say much

But silence pulls like tide

Cicadas screaming through the heat

And I smile too wide

Just to see if it still brings you back to me

To the place we used to love

 

Tell me now

Before the summer

Breathes its last

It feels like love but

Tastes like goodbye

Please don't say it more

 

Hold me if I still belong to you

Let me go before I beg you to

Don’t keep me halfway

Somewhere in your past

When we’re rehearsing our last goodbye

 

I kept my words under my tongue

Cicadas screaming for the words

I lost not a word

I’ve known it from the start

Now I see we looked away

 

Oh what would I say in this moment

When my heart is louder than my voice

Is it too late to say I never moved on

 

Hold me if I still belong to you

Let me go before I beg you to

Don’t keep me halfway

Somewhere in your past

When we’re rehearsing our last goodbye

 

I almost said your name out loud

But swallowed it down with the heat in my throat

I’m not sure where you at now

But I still flinch when a cicada sings

Are we rehearsing our last goodbye?
