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
And floating through the air
Whilst you float on

Hey ya, hey ya
I'll kiss your as I wash your skin
Hey ya, hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya, hey ya
Cause all I want is that cold affliction
Your affection
Affection

And believe me, it happens all the time
Affection can be as cruel as it is kind
Oh 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
And floating through the air whilst you float on

Hey ya, hey ya
I'll kiss your as I wash your skin
Hey ya, hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya, hey ya
Cause all I want is that cold affliction
Your affection

And fall down into sleep, into a fever 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, hey ya
I kiss you as I wash your skin
Hey ya, hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya, hey ya
Cause all I want is that cold affliction
Your affection
Affection
