[Verse 1]
Remember when you were
More easily led
Behind the cricket pavilion
And the bicycle shed
Grass stains on your blazer
Chalk dust on your neck
Rusted little secrets
Paint flaked
Paint red
[Chorus]
The crickets are
A cute insect
Singing through the floodlight glare
While the shed contains
Vehicles
Intact and wrecked
Like the plans we parked back there
The crickets are
A cute insect
Soft choir in the summer air
And the shed contains
Vehicles
Intact and wrecked
Like the ways we tried to care
[Verse 2]
You traced your name in cobwebs
On corrugated steel
Helmets on the handlebars
Spokes bent out of feel
You said
“This place is perfect
For things that go unsaid”
As someone hit a boundary
And the cheers washed overhead
[Chorus]
The crickets are
A cute insect
Counting every wasted dare
While the shed contains
Vehicles
Intact and wrecked
All the dares we left in there
The crickets are
A cute insect
Keeping all our evenings fair
And the shed contains
Vehicles
Intact and wrecked
Like our hearts we didn’t spare
