Lyrics
When the fever breaks
Expressing anticipation for a change or resolution.
I will be right here sitting in the
Commitment to remain in a specific place despite challenges.
Same spot I'm sitting right now
Current location and contemplation about the situation.
My faith has started to shake
Feeling a crisis of faith or confidence.
I don't know if I still believe you'll
Uncertainty about the belief in someone's revival or change.
Ever come to life with this crowd
Doubtful about witnessing positive change in a group setting.
Am I the only one who feels lonely even
Sense of loneliness despite being in the company of friends.
Though I know I'm surrounded by friends?
Reflecting on the paradox of feeling lonely amidst companionship.
Am I the only one who
Questioning the uniqueness of personal emotions.
Feels that fevered longing?
Experiencing an intense and passionate yearning.
God I know I'm the only one who can
Acknowledging personal responsibility for change.
There's things that I hide
Admitting the presence of concealed aspects of oneself.
Things I keep in the corners of my
Keeping certain thoughts hidden in the mind.
Mind and I can't keep hiding
Realization that continued concealment is unsustainable.
I know you won't approve of this
Expectation of disapproval for certain preferences and behaviors.
I've got bad taste in art and sex and lying
Acknowledging perceived flaws in taste and honesty.
When we sat in my basement and I
Recalling a past moment of vulnerability and openness.
Showed you all my wrongs, you said
Receiving advice to maintain a stable source of income.
"just don't quit your day job"
Admitting the truth of the advice and its impact.
You were right, and I gave up four years ago
Decision to abandon certain pursuits four years ago.
But some things are just too
Recognition that some attachments are hard to let go.
Hard to leave behind
The difficulty in leaving certain things behind.
I've changed my mind so many times cause
Acknowledging frequent changes of mind for approval.
I wanted you to like me
Desiring approval and validation from a specific person.
And I'm ashamed to admit it
Admitting shame for seeking approval and validation.
Took me this long
Realization of the time taken to overcome seeking approval.
But I don't care if you like me anymore
Indifference towards seeking approval from that person.
Am I the only (Am I the only)
Reiteration of the earlier feeling of intense yearning.
One who feels that fevered longing?
Repeating the question about the uniqueness of personal emotions.
Am I the only (Am I the only)
Reiteration of the earlier intense and passionate yearning.
God I know I'm the only one who can
Reaffirmation of personal responsibility for change.
