[Verse 1] I'm sitting in the parking lot For the second time today, I'm Thinking if I run away I'll change my name To one that feels like mine We listen to the same four songs This town is closing in on me Sometimes I forget to breathe Not sure if it's subconsciously, oh [Pre-Chorus] And you like to say that you got it figured out But I don't know No, I don't know Where the hell I'm gonna go And I'm aware That you found a place to hide But I don't know No, I don't know How to make it out alive [Chorus] And oh, oh August is a fever 'Cause we're too hot and cold and homesick all the time And oh, oh I don't wanna leave ya So I'll pack my things and leave myself behind [Verse 2] There's always too much time to kill I never pull the trigger like I plan We wait until the moon gets high then cross that line Electric while we can You like to fill your lungs with smoke I feel like I'm just stuck between your teeth Poison spilling down my throat But New York's underwater in a week [Pre-Chorus]
And you like to say that you got it figured out But I don't know No, I don't know Where the hell I'm gonna go [Chorus] And oh, oh August is a fever 'Cause we're too hot and cold and homesick all the time And oh, oh I don't wanna leave ya So I'll pack my things and leave myself behind [Bridge] The party's burning down the house We're drowning in your parents' pool I think you're tryna smoke me out Who let me think you're so cool? And The party's burning down the house We're drowning in your parents' pool I think you're tryna smoke me out Who let me think you're so fu*kin' cool? [Chorus] Oh, oh August is a fever 'Cause we're too hot and cold and homesick all the time Oh, oh I don't wanna leave ya So I'll pack my things and leave myself behind Oh, oh August is a fever 'Cause we're too hot and cold and homesick all the time And oh, oh I don't wanna leave ya So I'll pack my things and leave myself behind [Outro] (I cannot wait for this to drop, you don't even know)
