When My Fever Breaks - John Moreland

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
