Block Light Fever

Verse

Four in the morning and my block's still lit

Neon sign reflected off the wet asphalt hit

Corner store's the only place that's open wide

Coke on ice and a cold pack, we don't need no guide

Sirens rolling by outside but I don't pay mind

We got our own rhythm, our own time

You said you'd stay till the sun comes up to paint

The whole street blue like your eyes in the pale light

Now it's four thirty and my feet still on fire

Block light fever, nobody wants to retire

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel that heat rising off the ground?

Eighteen forever when the night don't let us down

Tell me you're staying till the block runs out of steam

We'll dance in the dark 'til our names turn into a dream

Chorus

Block light fever, we can't stop dancing now

Sweat and neon, nobody's ready to let it go

Block light fever, we run this street like our own

Till the sun comes up and the block goes home

Verse 2

Rooftop water tank's busted wide open

Splashing on my neck and I feel a little safer now

City's locked down but our corner stays bright

We'll dance 'til the sky turns pink before we take flight

My girl said she's tired, her feet won't move no more

I say let go of the handrail, watch it spin across the floor

Streetlight flickers red and I know it ain't done yet

Block light fever, this is where our hearts are set

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel that heat rising off the ground?

Eighteen forever when the night don't let us down

Tell me you're staying till the block runs out of steam

We'll dance in the dark 'til our names turn into a dream

Chorus

Block light fever, we can't stop dancing now

Sweat and neon, nobody's ready to let it go

Block light fever, we run this street like our own

Till the sun comes up and the block goes home

Bridge

Not tonight, not tonight

We keep going till the city lights turn gold

I don't need a reason, I just need your hand

In this dirty, beautiful chaos of our street plan

Chorus

Block light fever, we can't stop dancing now

Sweat and neon, nobody's ready to let it go

Block light fever, we run this street like our own

Till the sun comes up and the block goes home
