Fever In The Floorboards (Version 2)

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
