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

 Oh, oh I don't wanna leave ya
