Affection

Trust me
It always turns out the same
Affection has always been a little game
Forgive me
It's one I've never understood
Love to me has been as bad as good

I've been drowning in the water
That you're walking on
Falling through the air as you float up

Hey ya
I'll kiss your eyes
And wash your skin
Hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya
Because all I want is that old affliction
Your affection

Believe me
It happens all the time
Affection can be as cruel as it is kind
Lover
Won't you give me a sign
Love can be as deaf as it is blind

I've been drowning in the water
That you're walking on
Falling through the air as you float up

Hey ya
I'll kiss your eyes
And wash your skin
Hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya
Because all I want is that old affliction
Your affection

Fall back into sleep
Into a fevered dream
Where I barely know what is going on
Except I know that I want you
And I know that I need you
And I tell you I love you again and again and again and again

Hey ya
I'll kiss your eyes
And wash your skin
Hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya
Because all I want is that old affliction
Your affection
