Fever

Verse

Streetlights blink like they're counting us in

Gold dust falling on my bare skin

Radio crackles through an open truck door

Summer's last heat on the concrete floor

Popsicle sweet, sticky on my wrist

Somebody's laughing at a joke I missed

Sneakers untied, don't care if I trip

Every open window's got a song to give

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why we're standing still

When the whole block's catching fire

Can you feel that rising thrill

Underneath the wires

Chorus

We got the fever, dancing tonight

Skin and the sidewalk turning to light

Nobody's watching, nobody's right

We got the fever, dancing tonight

Free like the sparks off a wheel spinning by

Free till the moon gives up on the sky

We got the fever, dancing tonight

Verse

Paper cups spilling on a rooftop floor

String lights swinging by the old fire door

Someone's got a speaker balanced on a chair

Bass line rattling the summer air

Barefoot spinning on a painted line

Borrowed jacket, but the night is mine

Every heartbeat matching every drum

Nowhere else I'd rather come undone

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why we're standing still

When the whole block's catching fire

Can you feel that rising thrill

Underneath the wires

Chorus

We got the fever, dancing tonight

Skin and the sidewalk turning to light

Nobody's watching, nobody's right

We got the fever, dancing tonight

Free like the sparks off a wheel spinning by

Free till the moon gives up on the sky

We got the fever, dancing tonight

Bridge

No clock on the wall, no chain on my feet

Just gravel and glitter under the street

This one's not borrowed, this one's not owed

It's mine till the sun comes to collect what it's owed

Chorus

We got the fever, dancing tonight

Skin and the sidewalk turning to light

Nobody's watching, nobody's right

We got the fever, dancing tonight

Free like the sparks off a wheel spinning by

Free till the moon gives up on the sky

We got the fever, dancing tonight
