I Say Fever

Before she met me she took herself to wait five years

After I met her, her teacher said "Best wait five years."

I ask my neighbors, they said it's wise to wait five years.

I say "Fever."

I told a friend how I'm feeling and this made her sad

'Cause she fears that no man will ever desire her so bad.

How dare I feel this and do naught but sit on my hands.

I say "Fever."

Hold my heart like a hot potato,

push the clock for an hour later.

This is just code to decipher;

found my ploughman, chased the piper.

That ended up.

That's all now.

These are the ones who talk.

Never a lick--needs her to kiss him.

The first five years go by and we are no longer here.

I blame myself for not taking steps to draw her near.

I try to decide what to do now based on love not fear.

I say "Fever."

(Fo[u]r years.)

Hold my heart like a hot potato,

push the clock for an hour later.

This is just code to decipher;

found my ploughman, chased the piper.
