[Intro]
[Verse 1]
He's a cigarette at midnight
A slow burn on my lips
A secret that I'm keeping in my fingertips
I tell myself I'm stronger
I can walk away for good
Then he looks at me and I'm knocking on wood
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's a problem, I know it's a sin
But I'm already aching to feel him again
[Chorus]
He's the high I keep on chasing
The fever in my blood
The beautiful disaster
The coming, coming flood
I'm a woman on the edge of a cliff I can't resist
Addicted to the fallout, addicted to his kiss
[Verse 2]
My friends all say he's poison
They can see the bruise
But they don't understand the shade of blue he uses
He paints me in a corner
Then he paints me in gold
A story that I'm never get to all to be told
[Pre-Chorus]
Female vocals join in
[Chorus]
He's the high I keep on chasing
The fever in my blood
The beautiful disaster
The coming, coming flood
I'm a woman on the edge of a cliff I can't resist
Addicted to the fallout, addicted to his kiss
[Bridge]
Light fades, I hear the ticking of the clock
I climb back from the edge, but I’m not yet free
If I let go, will the sun find me again?
Or will I keep chasing what never holds me
[Chorus]
He's the high I keep on chasing
The fever in my blood
The beautiful disaster
The coming, coming flood
I’m choosing to breathe, I’m choosing to quit
Addicted to the fallout, but I won’t kiss his lips again
[Outro]
And when dawn breaks I'll be back in his love
Whispering to the mirror I'll try to hold on tight
[final synth chord fades]
