Lyrics
[Verse 1] You only text at 3 a.m I answer like I’m on a leash Lip print on a water glass I’m drinking you Can’t rinse you clean You say “relax It’s just a phase” But I’m pacing trenches in my floor I schedule you in seventeen ways Just to maybe see you once more [Pre-Chorus] I keep my face straight in your backseat Heart doing cartwheels under white teeth I bite my tongue till I taste steel Trying to throttle what I feel [Chorus] Got this cold fever running through my veins You’re my hit My high My favorite pain Every sane thought slipping out of frame When you’re near me Cold fever Burning through my plans Shaking hands Pretending I can stand I keep saying I’m in full command But you own me [Drop] [Beat slams in Chopped vocal echoing “cold… fever…”] (cold, cold, fever) (you own me, you own me) [Verse 2] You leave your sweater on my chair Say “keep it I’ve got one at home” Now my whole house smells like your hair And I can’t sleep in it alone You laugh and call me “such a crush” Like I’m cute and easy to read But you don’t see the traffic rush Every time your thigh brushes me [Pre-Chorus] I play it cool Sip something clear While I’m rewriting futures in my head I memorize your every smear Of lipstick Every word you’ve said [Chorus] Got this cold fever running through my veins You’re my hit My high My favorite pain Every sane thought slipping out of frame When you’re near me Cold fever Burning through my plans Shaking hands Pretending I can stand I keep saying I’m in full command But you own me [Bridge] If I touch you first Will I survive it? If I say your name Will you deny it? You’re laughing on my pillow like it’s harmless I’m clinging to the edges of my calmness Count to ten Count again You lean in I cave in (oh) [Chorus] Got this cold fever I can’t play it safe You’re my risk My rush My favorite ache Every rule I made is gonna break When you’re near me Cold fever Take my body Stay If I lose my mind I’ll call it fate You say “breathe ” but it’s already late ’Cause you own me (you own me, you own me) [Outro] Cold fever in the hallway light “Text me when you’re home ” you say Door clicks And I swear I might Burn up till the next replay
