Lyric

First warm day

You call

I cave

Meet you by the river rail

Paper cup coffee

Wind in your sleeves

You laugh and the whole bridge sways

It hits like cherry blossom fever

Too soon Too much I’m caught

Petals in my hair and on your sweater

We’re breathing in what won’t last long

If every spring is just a teaser

Let this one run hot and wrong

Cherry blossom fever

I don’t care if it’s gone

You say

“This year Let’s stay right here”

But the buds are already dust

Pink on the pavement

Boot prints through it

We drag our feet

Kick up the crush

It hits like cherry blossom fever

Too soon Too much I’m caught

Petals in my hair and on your sweater

We’re breathing in what won’t last long

If every spring is just a teaser

Let this one run hot and wrong

Cherry blossom fever

I don’t care if it’s gone

All our almosts hanging in the branches

All our maybes blowing down the street

We keep promising we’ll learn our lesson

But we only learn the heat

So kiss me in this borrowed weather

Let the colors stain us while they can

If everything we touch is going backwards

Let me bloom once in your hands
