I dream about you, but I've never even seen your face
I'm thinkin' constantly about the way I feel to have you near
I wanna hold you in the darkness, never let you slip away
I wanna feel the beating rhythm of your heart inside of me

You're like a fever in my body and my mind
And I'll burn until I have you by my side
No one knows and nobody can see, you're like a fever in me
Burning, burning, burning in me

In this delirium, I swear I hear you whisperin' to me
It's like you're sending me a secret message from another time
That you would wait however long it's gonna take me to decide
But I can't sleep and I can't breathe until I meet you in real life

You're like a fever in my body and my mind
And I'll burn until I have you by my side
No one knows and nobody can see, you're like a fever in me
Burning, burning, burning in me
Burning, burning, burning in me

I hear clocks, they tick inside of me
And only you can take me higher, higher
No one said you'll ever burn a hole inside of me just like a fire, fire
Burning, burning, burning in me

You're like a fever in my body and my mind
And I'll burn until I have you by my side
No one knows and nobody can see, you're like a fever in me

You're like a fever in me (I hear clocks, they tick inside of me)
(and only you can take me higher, higher) you're like a fever in me
You're like a fever in me
(No one said you'll ever burn a hole inside of me just like a fire, fire) oh

Burning, burning, burning in me
