Fever Days

We edged the shallow lake
Bubbled softly in the wake
Nothing here is yours to take

We stumbled down between the rocks
Further than we'd ever walked
We may never get close again
So we sat and breathed it in

To belong to a moment
Is better than to own it
People I've met and places I've been
I miss everything I've seen

All the weight that we've carried
Everyone that we've buried
People I've met and places I've been
I miss everything I've ever seen

How I wished that we could stay
We breathed in smoke and drank all day
But the smoke ran out and the booze did too
So we left to find somewhere new

Our spirits were high but our feet were sore
We built a fire and we drank some more
Out with the flames and in with the dew
I woke up with both of my arms around you

I hope we can make it through
To coast along together after our youth
If every dream comes back to you
I'll miss everything you used to do

I pray my dreams will find me first
Not having you around would be so much worse
