[Verse 1] The world has a fever I can feel it in the street Every window glowing Every stone beneath my feet The world has a fever And it does not break at night I keep turning on the pillow Looking for a colder light The trees stand quiet Like they forgot the rain The houses breathe slowly Like they are holding pain The world has a fever And it moved into my room Thirty days of burning Under one unblinking moon [Chorus] The world has a fever And I am breathing it in The sun keeps coming closer Crawling under my skin The world has a fever But nobody calls it wrong We just keep on moving Like the heat has been here all along [Verse 2] The world has a fever And the morning comes too soon No mercy in the daylight No kindness in the noon I pour water in a glass But it never feels enough Even silence feels heavy Even love feels rough The shadows look tired The river moves low The birds sing softer Like they already know The world has a fever And it will not let me sleep Thirty days of summer Cutting quiet, cutting deep [Chorus] The world has a fever And I am breathing it in The sun keeps coming closer Crawling under my skin The world has a fever But nobody calls it wrong We just keep on moving Like the heat has been here all along [Outro] The world has a fever The world has a fever I am not the one burning But I am burning with her The world has a fever The world has a fever And I keep waiting softly For the fever to break
