This fever I have is because I love you This fever I have is because I feel my body's blazing The flames are light and lit at my ears So that I can only hear Modern words are you feeling this? Too many trusted words were said My body was porous I savored every drop of it I took it all as truth Now I wander my way through the years Through the years Through your blinding me with all your light I wish I could see now These promises and lies ignite the fire And I wonder why I believe in you Through the years Through the years Through the years of joy and laughter Of tears and sadness, of hope and heart Through the years of love and loving Of hurt and healing, of falling apart I believe in you I believe in you I believe in you I don't want to wonder why I'm no longer fooled by your disguise I'm sorry that you are alive I pity all the pretensions of years And now we're starting anew I wish my way through the years Through the years Through the years Through the years Through the years Through the years
