Back to the Fever

[Verse 1]

You left your jacket on my chair

Smells like trouble

Smells like us

We said “we’re finished

” we said “never”

But your shadow still knows my touch

Your keys are shaking in your hand

You say you’re only picking up your things

But you’re looking at my mouth

Like you forgot what “ending” means (mm)

[Chorus]

We keep coming back to the fever

Back to the fire in the seams of the night

Every reason screaming “leave her”

But your hands remember how my body fits right

We break

We burn

Then we lean in deeper

Promise and poison on the edge of your lips

We keep coming back to the fever

Chasing forgiveness through the heat of your kiss

[Verse 2]

You trace the makeup on my sink

Say you hate the way I make you weak

Yet you’re pulling at my zipper

Like you’re praying

Like you’re scared to speak

We talk in circles

Then in sighs

“Can we fix it?” while you push me to the wall

I should slam the door

I should let you go

But your skin’s the language where I lose it all (hey)

[Chorus]

We keep coming back to the fever

Back to the fire in the seams of the night

Every reason screaming “leave her”

But your hands remember how my body fits right

We break

We burn

Then we lean in deeper

Promise and poison on the edge of your lips

We keep coming back to the fever

Chasing forgiveness through the heat of your kiss

[Bridge]

Say my name

If you mean it

Don’t just taste it on your tongue

If this is how we heal our damage

One more time

Then we’re undone

But you pull me closer

Closer

Like you’re learning how to breathe

If loving you is my undoing

Then come destroy what’s left of me (oh)

[Chorus]

We keep coming back to the fever

Back to the fire in the seams of the night

Every reason screaming “leave her”

But your hands remember how my body fits right

We break

We burn

Then we lean in deeper

Promise and poison on the edge of your lips

We keep coming back to the fever

Chasing forgiveness through the heat of your kiss
