"Fever Dream" lyrics

Waiting for you in New Orleans
To come back from playing dress-up
Just so I can dress you down
I was lounging mostly naked
Aiming for lovely and vacant
It was ours 'til you came around

You arrived and played your role
Just a bit out of control
Smirking for something unseen
Why's this pill so hard to swallow?
You were huge, but fucking hollow
And I always knew that you were gonna leave

These days the ache is right there
One day it'll all be a memory
These days I live in a nightmare
One day it'll feel like a fever dream
Fever dream

I was fearful and devoted
So romantic, I was hopeless
Hellbent on proving wisdom wrong
Made a god out of a mortal
Terrified that he was normal
At least you'll never hear this 'cause you never listened to my song

These days the ache is right there
One day it'll all be a memory
These days I live in a nightmare
One day it'll feel like a fever dream
Fever dream

The punching back, an ego trip
You thought wasn't worth the risk
More than just some girl you lost
I'm bigger now, I just forgot

These days the ache is right there
One day it'll all be a memory
These days I live in a nightmare
One day it'll feel like a fever dream

These days the ache is right there
One day it'll all be a memory
These days I live in a nightmare
One day it'll feel like a fever dream
Fever dream

Fever dream
Fever dream
