[Verse 1]
Your thumb marks page ninety-two
Mine's on your waist by the door
You say "just one more chapter"
I say I want you more
Paper cuts on your fingertips
Lip gloss on my shirt
You look up like a bad idea
And I don't mind getting hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
Slow burn, don't stop
Make me lose my place
Two hands on the spine
Then you pull me in close
I can read your face
Like a line I know by heart
And I swear that look in your eyes
Pulls me right apart
[Chorus]
Dog-eared fever, come here
I want your name in my mouth
Dog-eared fever, come here
Turn the whole night out
(come here) I keep on falling for the line
(come here) you pull me in every time
Dog-eared fever, come here
Baby, don't let me out
[Verse 2]
You got that paperback stare
Like a dare I can't decline
Room full of half-finished stories
But yours keeps stealing mine
Bare skin, black ink, red wine
All my thoughts run wild
You bite your lip like a plot twist
And I'm ruined, child
[Pre-Chorus]
Slow burn, don't stop
Make me lose my place
Two hands on the spine
Then you pull me in close
I can read your face
Like a line I know by heart
And I swear that look in your eyes
Pulls me right apart
[Chorus]
Dog-eared fever, come here
I want your name in my mouth
Dog-eared fever, come here
Turn the whole night out
(come here) I keep on falling for the line
(come here) you pull me in every time
Dog-eared fever, come here
Baby, don't let me out
[Bridge]
[Half-time break]
If this is fiction, let it burn
If this is danger, let it earn
You got me under every word
Say my name, make it hurt
Then the drums come back
And the room goes white
I was made to chase
What I can't hold tight
[Chorus]
Dog-eared fever, come here
I want your name in my mouth
Dog-eared fever, come here
Turn the whole night out
(come here) I keep on falling for the line
(come here) you pull me in every time
Dog-eared fever, come here
Baby, don't let me out
