[Verse 1]

Sickness in the city, I got lost

Giving all my love

To something I don't want, here we are

Nervous in the crowded summer nights

Treading lows, crashing from highs

With eternal dynamite in my heart


[Pre-Chorus]

With all these eyes upon me

I get louder on the stage

We find my truth stands in the way

That I've been tryna fight

Everything goes black and white


[Chorus]

Think I'm burning up, got a real bad fever

I'm standing out on the edge

Nothing's holding me back

Life moves fast and I try to hold on

But I'm jumping off


[Verse 2]

Chasing down a quiet episode

On these quaint suburban roads

I'm obsessing over more here it comes

Falling through this ocean of a night

I take back all of my spite

All those years of starless skies come undone


[Pre-Chorus]

And all those dirty promises (Promises)

Got high on manifesting this

A future full of limousines on overdrive (Ooh)

Things are spinning out and I


[Chorus]

Think I'm burning up, got a real bad fever

I'm standing out on the edge

Nothing's holding me back

Life moves fast and I try to hold on

But I'm jumping off

Think I'm burning up, got a real bad fever

I'm standing out on the edge

Nothing's holding me back

Life moves fast and I try to hold on

But I'm jumping off


[Post-Chorus]

I'm jumping off


[Outro]

Burn, burning up

Don't wanna feel bad

Love, love, love, love

I got the weight of the world

Calling me home

Burn, burning up

Don't wanna feel bad

Love, love, love, love

I got the weight of the world

Calling me home
