Lyric

Before the Cicadas Fade

Sunset bleeding through the wire

Painting shadows on your face

You said, “See you tomorrow”

But it sounded like goodbye

Rain still sleeping on the pavement

August burning in the air

I could almost reach and hold you

But the season pulled you away

When the cicadas suddenly fall silent

I know you’ll disappear with the light

Don’t leave me in the dying summer

Don’t fade into the crimson sky

My heart is burning past the sunset

Too bright to let this love survive

Don’t make goodbye sound beautiful

Don’t turn us into yesterday

I’ll scream your name until it breaks me

Before the summer takes you away

Firework ashes in your silver hair

You looked down and closed your eyes

You were talking about tomorrow

Like I wasn’t in your life

Cold wind opened every memory

September waiting at the door

If forgetting means I loved you

Then I’ll never love anymore

Even the stars sinking into darkness

Are still chasing after your light

Don’t leave me in the dying summer

Don’t fade into the crimson sky

My heart is falling like the moonlight

But still I need you by my side

Don’t become a distant memory

Don’t turn into a gentle pain

I would tear apart our destiny

Just to touch you once again

Before the summer takes you away

Every blue sky

Every teardrop

Still remains inside my hands

Even if autumn

Kills me slowly

I will never forget your name

Don’t leave me in the dying summer

Don’t fade into the crimson sky

My heart is burning past the sunset

Too bright to let this love survive

Don’t make goodbye sound beautiful

Don’t turn us into yesterday

I’ll scream your name until it breaks me

Before the cicadas fade to silence

Turn around and look at me

Even if the whole world ends here

You’re the one I’ll never leave

Before the summer takes you away
