"AUGUST IS A FEVER" lyrics
I'm sitting in the parking lot
For the second time today, I'm
Thinking if I run away I'll change my name
To one that feels like mine
We listen to the same four songs
This town is closing in on me
Sometimes I forget to breathe
Not sure if it's subconsciously, oh
And you like to say that you got it figured out
But I don't know
No, I don't know
Where the hell I'm gonna go
And I'm aware
That you found a place to hide
But I don't know
No, I don't know
How to make it out alive
And oh, oh
August is a fever
'Cause we're too hot and cold and homesick all the time
And oh, oh
I don't wanna leave ya
So I'll pack my things and leave myself behind
There's always too much time to kill
I never pull the trigger like I plan
We wait until the moon gets high then cross that line
Electric while we can
You like to fill your lungs with smoke
I feel like I'm just stuck between your teeth
Poison spilling down my throat
But New York's underwater in a week
And you like to say that you got it figured out
But I don't know
No, I don't know
Where the hell I'm gonna go
And oh, oh
August is a fever
'Cause we're too hot and cold and homesick all the time
And oh, oh
I don't wanna leave ya
So I'll pack my things and leave myself behind
The party's burning down the house
We're drowning in your parents' pool
I think you're tryna smoke me out
Who let me think you're so cool? And
The party's burning down the house
We're drowning in your parents' pool
I think you're tryna smoke me out
Who let me think you're so fuckin' cool?
Oh, oh
August is a fever
'Cause we're too hot and cold and homesick all the time
Oh, oh
I don't wanna leave ya
So I'll pack my things and leave myself behind
Oh, oh
August is a fever
'Cause we're too hot and cold and homesick all the time
And oh, oh
I don't wanna leave ya
So I'll pack my things and leave myself behind
(I cannot wait for this to drop, you don't even know)
For the second time today, I'm
Thinking if I run away I'll change my name
To one that feels like mine
We listen to the same four songs
This town is closing in on me
Sometimes I forget to breathe
Not sure if it's subconsciously, oh
And you like to say that you got it figured out
But I don't know
No, I don't know
Where the hell I'm gonna go
And I'm aware
That you found a place to hide
But I don't know
No, I don't know
How to make it out alive
And oh, oh
August is a fever
'Cause we're too hot and cold and homesick all the time
And oh, oh
I don't wanna leave ya
So I'll pack my things and leave myself behind
There's always too much time to kill
I never pull the trigger like I plan
We wait until the moon gets high then cross that line
Electric while we can
You like to fill your lungs with smoke
I feel like I'm just stuck between your teeth
Poison spilling down my throat
But New York's underwater in a week
And you like to say that you got it figured out
