Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Time's not the villain
Coming up behind you
Is a marigold sun, love if you're willing, take a little more time
[Verse 2]
I smell fire
It's coming from the flames that are dancing on my wings
I'm a bird on a wire, killing time
[Verse 3]
Fever's got me shaking
It rises up like a road to meet
Me, fever's got me quaking like
San Andreas fault
[Verse 4]
Just put a cloth to my brow
I'll soar like a phoenix from the ashes, put a pretty blanket down
I'm ready now
[Verse 5]
Looking for forgiveness
Looking in every cupboard in every room
I'm bearing witness to the passing time
[Verse 6]
But the clock is ticking
Like an old man singing at the top of his lungs
And the light is flickering, we're running out
[Verse 7]
Fever's got me shaking
It rises up like a road to meet
Me, fever's got me quaking like
San Andreas fault
[Verse 8]
Just put a cloth to my brow
I'll soar like a phoenix from the ashes, put a pretty blanket down
I'm ready now
[Verse 9]
Everybody's looking for somebody to blame
The stages of sadness, how many can you name?
I stopped at anger
Never felt the same
[Verse 10]
They say it'll fade, my scars, my tears will dry
And I'll lie under the stars again
Not wondering where you are
[Verse 11]
Where you are
[Verse 12]
Fever's got me shaking
It rises up like a road to meet
Me, fever's got me quaking like
San Andreas fault
[Verse 13]
Just put a cloth to my brow
I'll soar like a phoenix from the ashes, put a pretty blanket down
I'm ready now
[Verse 14]
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
