Coulda swore I saw you at Whole Foods yesterday
Brown hair and eyes you had that smile on your face
The one I've seen in place like a thousand other times
Except on this occasion, your smile wasn't mine
I dipped into an aisle didn't want to catch your eye
I didn't want to ask why an I didn't wanna lie
And I didn't want to hear you talk about some other dude
Not trying to be rude but it was you who walked away
I gave you my heart you know I'd give it back again
The Summer of Cicadas was the summer of my Zen
And it was a funeral hymn one of the hardest things I've done
The death of our love when we'd only just begun
I know I wasn't dumb we were on the same page
We were lovers we were friends, we weren't actors on a stage
Imma try to act my age and stand on solid ground
Can't make any promises… but I'll be around…
Whenever…I'll be around round round
I'll be around
Whenever…You know down down down
You know down
Whenever… yeah…
I coulda swore I saw you just the other day
Whenever…I'll be around round round round
I'll be around
Whenever…I'll be around…
Coulda swore I saw you driving by the church
If it wasn't Salt I can tell you it still hurt
I was in the shirt you know what I'm talking bout
I wish that you could see my growth I think that you'd be proud
I guess I owe a lot to you for stirring up my soul
Bursting up my bubble now I'm learning to be whole
Learning to be me, learning to be free
I may be yearning for your touch I'm making peace with this debris
I may look a little funny with these ashes on my face
I may be a little hungry from the splashes and the chase
Thought it was a race at first, fought you and embraced the curse
Brought you in my world til you stopped and hit reverse
…taking care of business
Got a lotta love for you as God as my witness
Forgiveness is yours and you know that I am down
We can make it better… I'll be around…
Coulda swore I saw you down at the brewery
No, I know I saw you cause you hugged me in a hurry
Wave an a side hug, you were on your iPhone
Cicadas be noisy bugs, diamonds turned to rhinestones
From in-zone to friend zone don't really know how
Feelin kinda silly when I put my hand to the plow
Push through the mess, trying not to stress out
Spending all my time second guessing all your doubts
I spent too many days thinking what you thinking on
I went into a phase I was drinking too much drink and on
I don't really see what I'm spending all my time for
At some point you became a pretty little eye sore
I guess that time is now, I'm really sick and tired
I gave you 100 but everything backfired
Loved every ounce of you—my efforts have been drowned
I wish you all the best… but I can't be around…
I'll be down for you, you'll be down for me…
