Lyrics When My Fever Breaks - John Moreland

When My Fever Breaks

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
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
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
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
But darlin' when you reach for me
It feels just like infinity
Honey help me break this curse
Howling at the universe again
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
