Verse
Copper lamps swinging low over close-cut hair
Floor's gone warm underfoot from the weight we share
Your heel taps once and the whole room leans
Bassline crawls up through the seams
Nobody's touching but the wood remembers
Every step laid down like slow embers
Your shadow drifts to the edge of mine
Floor keeps time, floor keeps time
Pre-Chorus
Is it the heat coming up through the floor
Or just how close you stood there before
Do you feel the pull of the low string bending
Or is it just the night that keeps ascending
Chorus
Fever in the floorboards, rising through my feet
Fever in the floorboards, matching every beat
Nobody's reaching, nobody moves too soon
Fever in the floorboards, burning like the room
Verse
Candle wax pooling where the dancers turn
Your collarbone catching all the light that burns
Barefoot now, the both of us
Sound comes up like it's made of us
Glass rings hum on the shelf above
Floor keeps rising like it's built from love
You shift your weight, I feel it too
Wood don't lie, wood tells the truth
Pre-Chorus
Is it the heat coming up through the floor
Or just how close you stood there before
Do you feel the pull of the low string bending
Or is it just the night that keeps ascending
Chorus
Fever in the floorboards, rising through my feet
Fever in the floorboards, matching every beat
Nobody's reaching, nobody moves too soon
Fever in the floorboards, burning like the room
Bridge
Maybe it's not the room at all
Maybe it's you I'm answering to
Every plank underneath us calling
Maybe the floor was just the excuse
Chorus
Fever in the floorboards, rising through my feet
Fever in the floorboards, matching every beat
Nobody's reaching, nobody moves too soon
Fever in the floorboards, burning like the room
