Waiting for you in New Orleans To come back from playing dress-up Just so I can dress you down I was lounging mostly naked Aiming for lovely and vacant It was ours 'til you came around You arrived and played your role Just a bit out of control Smirking for something unseen Why's this pill so hard to swallow? You were huge, but fucking hollow And I always knew that you were gonna leave These days the ache is right there One day it'll all be a memory These days I live in a nightmare One day it'll feel like a fever dream Fever dream I was fearful and devoted So romantic, I was hopeless Hellbent on proving wisdom wrong Made a god out of a mortal Terrified that he was normal At least you'll never hear this 'cause you never listened to my song These days the ache is right there One day it'll all be a memory These days I live in a nightmare One day it'll feel like a fever dream Fever dream The punching back, an ego trip You thought wasn't worth the risk More than just some girl you lost I'm bigger now, I just forgot These days the ache is right there One day it'll all be a memory These days I live in a nightmare One day it'll feel like a fever dream These days the ache is right there One day it'll all be a memory These days I live in a nightmare One day it'll feel like a fever dream Fever dream Fever dream Fever dream
