AUGUST IS A FEVER

I'm sitting in the parking lot

For the second time today, I'm

Thinking if I run away I'll change my name

To one that feels like mine

We listen to the same four songs

This town is closing in on me

Sometimes I forget to breathe

Not sure if it's subconsciously, oh

And you like to say that you got it figured out

But I don't know

No, I don't know

Where the hell I'm gonna go

And I'm aware

That you found a place to hide

But I don't know

No, I don't know

How to make it out alive

And oh, oh

August is a fever

'Cause we're too hot and cold and homesick all the time

And oh, oh

I don't wanna leave ya

So I'll pack my things and leave myself behind

There's always too much time to kill

I never pull the trigger like I plan

We wait until the moon gets high then cross that line

Electric while we can

You like to fill your lungs with smoke

I feel like I'm just stuck between your teeth

Poison spilling down my throat

But New York's underwater in a week

And you like to say that you got it figured out

But I don't know

No, I don't know

Where the hell I'm gonna go

And oh, oh

August is a fever

'Cause we're too hot and cold and homesick all the time

And oh, oh

I don't wanna leave ya

So I'll pack my things and leave myself behind

The party's burning down the house

We're drowning in your parents' pool

I think you're tryna smoke me out

Who let me think you're so cool? And

The party's burning down the house

We're drowning in your parents' pool

I think you're tryna smoke me out

Who let me think you're so fuckin' cool?

Oh, oh

August is a fever

'Cause we're too hot and cold and homesick all the time

Oh, oh

I don't wanna leave ya

So I'll pack my things and leave myself behind

Oh, oh

August is a fever

'Cause we're too hot and cold and homesick all the time

And oh, oh

I don't wanna leave ya

So I'll pack my things and leave myself behind

(I cannot wait for this to drop, you don't even know)
