Fever
He remembers the exact moment—her hand finding his in the dark theater, fingers trembling like they were both learning how to breathe. Twenty years later, he still can't watch that movie without tasting the salt of her perfume and the reckless ache of being seventeen and absolutely certain she was forever.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Your hand was cold when you found mine
Theater dark, the screen was blind
You whispered something I can't recall
But I remember how you made me fall
Your jacket smelled like cigarettes and rain
I wore that fever like a chain
Chorus
Fever, fever, burning slow
You were the only cure I'd ever know
Fever, fever, in my veins
Still tasting you in every flame
Can't sweat you out, can't let you go
Fever's all I got to show
Verse 2
Your laugh echoed in the parking lot
I was nothing before, I was not
Your lips tasted like a first goodbye
Didn't know that then, but I know why
You wrote your name across my skin
I was burning from the outside in
Chorus
Fever, fever, burning slow
You were the only cure I'd ever know
Fever, fever, in my veins
Still tasting you in every flame
Can't sweat you out, can't let you go
Fever's all I got to show
Bridge
They say first love don't leave scars
But you're written in my bones, in my stars
Every lover since just reads like a lie
I'm still reaching for the way you said goodbye
Outro
Fever, fever
Still burning
Fever, fever
Always returning
