FEVER
Agelast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Light fever on a summer day
She blew into the room and
we just melted away
They might say I felt my temperature rise
When I took too close a look
Into her ray gun eyes

I saw a flash and realized
I couldn't take anymore
I had to walk up to her
She could not be ignored

So I sat by you, do you wanna take a chance
Something's burning deep inside me and I just have to ask
Oh girl, before I turn into ash
I got to break you just to beg you
Can I have this dance?

Sister I could be your Fever
Fever in your heart beat
Beating like a hammer
Hammering away and
The way you move beside me
Beside me like a Fever
Fever like a fire
Fire like a fever

Sister
Fever
Heartbeat
Hammer
Play it
Like a
Fever
Fire
Fever
Sister
Fever

So I sat by you
Do you wanna take a chance
Something's burning deep inside me
And I just have to ask

Oh girl
Before I turn into ash
I got to break you
Just to beg you
Can I have this dance

Sister I could be your Fever
Fever in your heart beat
Beating like a hammer
Hammering away and
The way you move beside me
Beside me like a Fever
Fever like a fire
Fire like a --

Sister I could be your Fever
Fever in your heart beat
Beating like a hammer
Hammering away and
The way you move beside me
Beside me like a Fever




Fever like a fire
Fire like a fever
