Fevers - Young and Heartless

It started with the first time in the flat with dawn

(A clean way out.)

I could see it in your eyes, you had your doubts

(We've tried.)

It started with the first time I could see you retreating from your high.

(We didn’t stop to see you.)

But it started with the first time I could feel me falling from these heights

(I can’t stop these habits with you around.)

You swear you don’t need the company to restart

I fell, sinking low

But you can really start to turn it around

Start making money.

Do we have to?

What’s in it for me?

Lights on my illness.

You can fix my head, never my mind.

A clean high.

You found it at your desk

Start thinking of the ways you won’t have to deal with me

(You can.)

Hide away like the movies.

What are you so afraid of?

A clean life isn’t coming.

The cross is turned away

You swear you don’t need the company to restart

I fell, sinking low.

But you can really start to turn it around

Start making money.

Do we have to?

What’s in it for me?

Lights on my illness.

We can fix my head, never my mind

You don’t have to take this all from me

(Where are you going to start again?)

We don’t have to run so far from here

(Who are you going to start it with?)
