won't you come and meet me, meet at the border
somewhere in between what each of us believes
let your sweaty palm soak right through to my shoulder
tell me there's no time. say there's nothing here to grieve
right now right now

you were not the first one. i know that these things happen
you held my like a father i tried to play my part
i'd give my sense of humour just to hear ytou laughin
i'd give me ear to hear you laughin at this breakin heart
right now right now

this is just the whisper, this is just the whisper now
when the fever breaks don't you ever let it break it down
this is just a shadow this is just a shadow now
when the fever breaks don't you ever let it break it down

you know i try to keep, to keep from feeling lonely
but even when i am i call andrew when i can
you were proud of that kid you were proud if only
you could see the man, if only you could see the man
right now, right now

crying in the back of a baltimore cathedral, staring at his hands
he's just staring at his hands
thinking about you and a loss he knows is evil
if god were a man maybe she would understand
and how and how


this is just the whisper, this is just the whisper now
when the fever breaks don't you ever let it break it down
this is just a shadow this is just a shadow now
when the fever breaks don't you ever let it break it down
