lyrics

i had a fever dream about you,
and you looked just like sylvia plath.
i ran my fingers up and through your hair,
you put some chopin on your phonograph.
we sat on my mother's couch,
and we were acting like addicts again.
yeah - i could not let go of you,
and you kept cutting your legs with a fountain pen.

and i woke up in a hot sweat all twisted in the sheets,
and my stomach held the fear that my heart likes to believe.

i had a fever dream about you,
and you hated me and called me weak.
and still i could not let go of you
so i reached up to kiss your cheek.
i sat there in my father's chair
(you said i looked like kerouac),
and as you turned and walked away from me,
well, i just begged you to come back

and i woke up in a hot sweat all twisted in the sheets,
and my stomach held the fear that my heart likes to believe.

i had a fever dream about you,
and i died so you could live.
and as i sank into the sea,
i watched the sunlight pour around your head.
you knew well what i had done,
and you loved me just the same.
i was happy to have known you,
and so proud to choose your name.

and i woke up in a hot sweat all twisted in the sheets,
and my stomach held the fear that my heart likes to believe.
and if i said i wouldn't die for you, i'd be lying through my teeth,
but a lie makes things so simple when the truth is hard to feel.
