About This Track

'Crickets' by Creeper is a 2017 rock track from the album 'Eternity, In Your Arms'. The lyrics frame a late night apology and a recurring failure to get it right, with the speaker looking back at returned records and a shared life. There is a strained, self-aware mood too, as the lines register a condescending tone and the discomfort of knowing you keep making the same slips. The song title fits the sense of waiting and silence around a conversation that never quite lands.

"Crickets" is a track by Creeper, from the album Eternity, In Your Arms, released 24th March 2017. The track is 3:48 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 19 articles about Creeper.

Lyrics

Crickets

Baby I'm sorry to call you so late,
Oh I forget I can't call you that name.
Still make those slips all of the time,
Don't know when I'll get better.

I think to the night that you handed me back,
Records that we shared and the life that we had.
You said in that condescending tone,
I'll never forget you.

She's in your jeans,
But I don't care.
You were my dream.
Now my nightmare.

At your sisters' wedding I gave all that I had,
Your father was cold,
And your mother was sad.
I thought to myself they were like you and I,
When we last met.

My love is a nail I can't pull out with plyers,
The lovers I've had have been gaslighting liars.
To know what that says about me,
But I just give in.

I mean it now it's making me ill.

She's in your jeans,
But I don't care.
You were my dream.
Now my nightmare.

So call me when. you break up.
As you always do,
I can't promise I will be back,
I'm done with you.

She's in your jeans,
But I don't care.
You were my dream.
Now my nightmare.

    How Creeper turned ‘Sanguivore’ rock opera into the metal excess of ‘Sanguivore II’

    Creeper’s vampire albums share a taste for 80s drama, but their musical priorities change sharply between them: from Jim Steinman-scale rock opera to faster, guitar-led heavy metal spectacle.
