Skyline Fever

[Intro]

[slow build

Strings swell over distant crowd noise]

Spotlights crawl up the rigging

Glow paint on my wrist

Still drying

Silhouette of your smile in the smoke

I’m already rewriting tonight

[Verse 1]

You slide through the crush like a secret

Hand on my chest

Say “keep it”

Laugh in my ear like you mean it

And everything else turns grayscale

You spin

Glitter on your collar

Cheap ring

Moving like a baller

My name tangled in your holler

The ground starts shaking in my shoes

[Pre-Chorus]

Are we too loud for a Monday?

Are we too close for a first date?

You pull me in like you heard fate

Drop the brakes

Let it all fuse (hey)

[Chorus]

I got that skyline fever

Hands up

Heart beat hitting the ceiling

You got that wild believer

Turn my lost boy soul into meaning

Oh

We’re burning up this floor

Like we’ve done this all before

I got that skyline fever

And you’re my late-night cure

My healer (oh yeah)

[Verse 2]

We move like a rumor in motion

Plastic cup tide

Bright ocean

Your hair sticking damp to your neck

I swear I can taste every second

You shout-sing the words you don’t know

Off-key halo in gold glow

You miss every line

Still you own

Every inch of this packed room

[Pre-Chorus]

Are we too fast for the replay?

Are we too good for the cliché?

You grab my phone

Change my last name

To “don’t you dare let me go”

[Chorus]

I got that skyline fever

Hands up

Heart beat hitting the ceiling

You got that wild believer

Turn my lost boy soul into meaning

Oh

We’re burning up this floor

Like we’ve done this all before

I got that skyline fever

And you’re my late-night cure

My healer

[Bridge]

[beat drops to bass and claps]

Tell me

Do you feel it?

(crowd chant) Feel it

Feel it

When the night leans in on us?

Can you really keep it?

Keep it

Keep it

If the sun calls off our rush?

You say

“Boy

Don’t jinx this

Let it live in sweat and lipstick

If tomorrow ever asks us

We were legends in the dust” (oh)

[Chorus]

I got that skyline fever

Hands up

Heart beat hitting the ceiling

You got that wild believer

Turn my lost boy soul into meaning

Oh

We’re burning up this floor

Like we’ve done this all before

I got that skyline fever

And you’re my late-night cure

My healer

[Outro]

[crowd-chant groove

Drums and horns riding out]

Skyline fever

(fever, fever)

Skyline fever

(fever, fever)

You and me

Top of the world

’Til they turn the speakers off
