cicada rhythm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
how you never asked for that first kiss
you came and stole it from my lips
there's nothing to do now
there's no way to know how to love
everybody has
to the stars above athens, georgia
what was yours about, mine was you
there's nothing to do now
there's no way to know how to love
everybody has
mocking bird sings my old song, the one that i forgot
of my own will i learn in this strange world
we're all made to love whoever sings back
there's nothing to do now
there's no way to know how to love
everybody has
