Fever

Standing on your front porch Kissing through a screen door Time is always running out It's probably best to say the things you really feel out loud But babe, if you believe it Say it like you mean it I hope I'd make them proud If every younger version of myself could see me now Didn't mean to wake you Just go back to sleep Been telling secrets I was supposed to keep But you are a folktale I'm a believer You are a pipedream I am a dreamer You are a phone call I'm a receiver You are a sickness And I've got a fever Asking me what are we A stranger at a party Said I don't look well I think that he was kidding But I couldn't really tell Either way, it went straight up to my head Didn't mean to wake you, just go back to bed But you are a folktale I'm a believer You are a pipedream I am a dreamer You are a phone call I'm a receiver You are a sickness And I've got a fever I want you to love me back I want you to love me back When the movie fades to black I want you to love me back Didn't mean to wake you Just go back to sleep I wish that I could be content with me
