Lyrics

Nighttime Affair

Why do we only kiss at night?
As soon as we drink for an excuse, we know it's not right
Now we ignore the tension 'cause we know it's light
To get through the day, I relive the memories of last night

And I know that you'll leave me 'til she's gone
Everyone can see
The way you look at me
When she's not looking

I'm just the nighttime affair
When she's not there
To lay in dirty sheets
In your second hand heat
I don't care
I'll be your nighttime affair
'Cause at least you'll see me
Laying there

I feel dirty as I stand in the shower
This scent is only after hours
I'll sacrifice my sleep to see you in the dark
Can you please love me gently? I'm scared you'll leave a mark
And I know I'm giving your little bitch what she's missing
But that's not enough to say that you could love me in the day

I'm just a nighttime affair
When she's not there
To lay in dirty sheets
For your second hand heat
I don't care
I'll be your nighttime affair
'Cause at least you'll see me
Laying there

Can you kiss me?
Can you love me?
I am worthy and you don't deserve me
Can you kiss me?
Can you love me?
I am worthy and you don't deserve me

Can you kiss me? (Can you kiss me?)
Can you love me? (Can you love me?)
I am worthy, I told you I'm sorry
Can you kiss me? (Can you kiss me?)
Can you love me? (Can you love me?)
I am worthy and you don't deserve me

This time
I won't be there
Your nighttime affair
