[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 falling, 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
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m deep in the night, I’m tangled in haze
Still hoping somehow I’ll break out of this maze
[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 falling, addicted to his kiss
[Bridge]
I close my eyes, pretend I’m fine
But the echo of his shadow never leaves my mind
If I fall again, I’ll rise and redefine
Till I choose the dawn over the night divine
[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 falling, addicted to his kiss
[Outro]
Breathing in—the risk, breathing out—the ache
Maybe someday I’ll wake and the craving breaks
