Fever

Fever. When we met at hotel reception
Never have I been so tired
You said “You bet”
Guess we did what the other expected
Eleven. Eleven days in the heat of the city
Together. I had stars coming all around me
And you let me in where a mother’d invested
I still stare at you in the dark
Looking for that thrill in the nothing
All my favourite places are bars
Lover. Don’t you run at the easy part now
The weather opened up like a birthday card
And we forget that one will fry if the other’s connected
Fever. When we met at hotel reception
Never have I been so tired
You said “You bet”
Guess we did what the other expected
Eleven. Eleven days in the heat of the city
Together. I had stars coming all around me
And you let me in where a mother’d invested
I still stare at you in the dark
Looking for that thrill in the nothing
You know my favourite place is the start
