Fever in the Dark 2

Verse

Fingers find my shoulder blade in the smoke ring's haze

Your breath is static on my collarbone like a trapped flame

We don't say it out loud but every step we take leans in

Till the strobe gives us both a glimpse of who we are when the lights go down

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say when I ask for your hand in this dark place?

Is this just a dream that we're chasing or something real, but nobody knows yet?

Hold me close like it's proof and tell me I'm not alone here

Cause every step into the night feels less like goodbye than a heartbeat

Chorus

Fever in the dark and it never breaks

Every floor we take pulls us back to this one place

No lights, no name, just heat on skin

Fever in the dark and I don't wanna leave again

I lose you for an hour and I still find my way back to you

Verse

Your jacket's open on the third floor stairwell landing

I pull your sleeve like it's a lifeline down through the noise

Bass drops low enough that we both forget what day this is

Only sound that's left is how fast our hearts are beating now

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say when I ask for your hand in this dark place?

Is this just a dream that we're chasing or something real, but nobody knows yet?

Hold me close like it's proof and tell me I'm not alone here

Cause every step into the night feels less like goodbye than a heartbeat

Chorus

Fever in the dark and it never breaks

Every floor we take pulls us back to this one place

No lights, no name, just heat on skin

Fever in the dark and I don't wanna leave again

I lose you for an hour and I still find my way back to you

Bridge

Maybe we are chasing something that's not real after all

But if it's nothing but static and smoke then I'll take the fall

Because this is the only time when nothing feels like a lie

When your hand in mine is the only thing keeping me from flying off into thin air

Chorus

Fever in the dark and it never breaks

Every floor we take pulls us back to this one place

No lights, no name, just heat on skin

Fever in the dark and I don't wanna leave again

I lose you for an hour and I still find my way back to you
