Fever Dream Songtext
von Trophy Wife

We read inside with your hands holding bits of my thighs
When it got too hot
We′d sit in the silence of summer and listen
To birds sing their songs while I sang mine
And you didn't mind
You got a nosebleed that time that you stepped on the bee
Plugging your nose and choking on blood
Coughing like you couldn′t breathe

Was it all a fever dream
I'm sweating it out so I can't feel a thing

We watched the shipping barge under midnight stars at the beach
And we watched a movie with Harrison Ford
Where you look just like him, I think

Was it all a fever dream
I′m sweating it out so I can′t feel a thing


I know your shoe size and where you grew up
And I know you're deathly afraid of growing up
And I know that you loved
But in the way that only you could love me
Less everyday
You were my greatest gift, the best surprise
But you kept me at arm′s length with arms open wide
When all that I wanted was to know you
The way that you thought you knew me
And I worship the ground that you walk on
But it's muddy and filled with decay
There′s bones of a beast there that I no longer recognize and I can't name
And I′m swimming in circles in the shallow end of the pool
Screaming for help that I don't need
All because I'm too tired to stand.

Was it all a fever dream
Something I made up and came up with when I was asleep
Was it all a fever dream
I′m sweating it out so I can′t feel a thing
