This fever is making me burn up
Tossing myself into the waters of ancient gods
I see myself in a past life
Saying things I don\'t mean like a false prophet
Ribbons of fairy magic
Weaving myself through the flames
I sink with every ultimatum
My thoughts take me back to the past
And I can\'t say yes
We are the golden centre
Broken inside with every scar
I open the window just to breathe
California dreaming when the night ends
Forever yearning for you
I feel so blue
Forever yearning for the way life was
When life was an endless summer
But now we have no cards to play
In a sinking house
I put my boots on just to go out
And I do it all over again
Never thinking about the consequence
I run with the wind
Neil said he believes in my poetry
I smiled like when Jim used to drive me around
In his car
I prayed to Jesus when you were gone
I never really did look at the sun
Inspired by the ocean in your blue eyes
The fire in the sky
I forgot what it felt like to be free
To live in the moment
To not worry about what people think
Now I live in the moment I don\'t wanna think
I\'m making dreams out of paradise
Life hasn\'t been the same since you took your love away
I look out the window and remember you everyday
How your words eased me
I tie myself to every good memory
Scared I\'ll forget how it used to be
So black and white
When we would sing and we would drink
Loving you every night
In a flood of fading emotions
My breath is heavy.
