John Moreland When My Fever Breaks
[Verse 1]
Star-crossed eyes and cross-eyed stars
No use hiding age old scars
Well, you're not here, and I can't be still
I don't think l'll sleep until I see you
[Verse 2]
The strongest will, the softest touch
I never thought l'd have so much
You call me out and rein me in
Riding through the rain again tonight
[Chorus]
Hold my hand and ease my aches
Wake me up when my fever breaks
I'm laying down my soul, the answers that I can't know
And the pain I thought I never would let go of
[Verse 3]
Well, these days we got hell to pay
And we got rigid roles to play
And driving 'round this neighborhood
Just ain't doing me no good this time
[Verse 4]
But darlin' when you reach for me
It feels just like infinity
Honey help me break this curse
Howling at the universe again
[Chorus]
Hold my hand and ease my aches
Wake me up when my fever breaks
I'm laying down my soul, the answers that I can't know
And the pain I thought I never would let go of
